What study.and.travel does for you

We help GCSE and IGCSE students prepare for their exams with mock papers, instant AI marking, and a Nudge Panel that explains every wrong answer. Teachers get a roster dashboard that does the marking for them.

For students

+3 grades

Average improvement when students practise consistently with study.and.travel.

Based on our internal model of typical Foundation-to-Higher progression for students who complete ≥4 mocks with the Nudge Panel enabled. Your mileage will vary.

For teachers

10h / week

Marking time saved per week by handing short-answer and 6-mark questions to our AI grader.

Estimate for a teacher with three GCSE classes (~90 students) running one mock per class per week. Every AI mark is shown with a rationale so you can spot-check, not rubber-stamp.

GCSE/A-Level · Sample Mock

Section 1 — Foundation Tier

Time: 1h 45min

Total: 100 marks

01

A lamp is connected to a battery. A current of 0.4 A flows through the lamp when the potential difference across it is 8 V.

Calculate the resistance of the lamp.

AI Feedback

✗

Why that loses marks: You wrote “20 Ω” but didn't show the formula V = IR → R = V ÷ I. The mark scheme awards 1 mark for the correct substitution.

⚡

Common mistake: Students often divide current by voltage instead of voltage by current.

Mock exams available for you to practice

Two minutes to set up. A whole term of exam practice.

See how it works for students, parents, and teachers.

Step 01

Practice individually or with a class

No sign-up, no password. Start solo, or type the code from your teacher or parent.

Step 02

Pick a mock exam and start

Choose from the mock exams available. The exam looks and feels like the real exam paper.

Step 03

Instant feedback on every answer

AI coach explains why, shows the common mistake, and teaches the concept.

ANSWER COACH

Wrong answers teach more than right ones.

Every incorrect response opens a three-card coaching sequence — instant, examiner-quality, never the same twice. Students don't just see a red cross. They understand why they lost marks and exactly how to fix it.

  • Mark-scheme rationale — the exact reasoning examiners use, applied to the student's specific answer.
  • Common mistake — what most students get wrong on this question, so they recognise the pattern.
  • Learning bite — a micro-lesson on the concept, so the next question on this topic is answered correctly.
Examiner-quality feedbackStar penalty for hintsMark scheme rationale

Why that answer loses marks

You wrote "12 Ω" but didn't show the formula. Examiners award 1 mark for writing R = V ÷ I before substituting.

Common mistake

Students frequently divide current by voltage instead of voltage by current. Remember: R = V / I, not I / V.

Learning bite

Ohm's Law: V = IR. Rearrange to find resistance: R = V ÷ I. Think of voltage as the "push", current as the "flow", resistance as the "obstacle".

TEACHER DASHBOARD

The whole class on one screen.

No more chasing students for updates or waiting until the end of term. Your roster updates in real time as students practice — best-of-last-two score, retry history and a predicted grade for every learner.

  • Live roster with retry history, best-of-last-two score and predicted grade per student
  • Retry graph — see at a glance who is improving and who has plateaued
  • Email nudges — schedule weekly reminders that drop the next mock straight into student inboxes
  • Shareable class link — one click to send to students or parents
EMAIL NUDGES

Practice that turns up on its own.

The hardest part of revision isn't the questions — it's starting. Schedule an email nudge once and every linked learner gets a friendly reminder with a one-click link straight into the next mock.

  • Pick a cadence that fits the term

    Daily, weekly, or specific days. Set the local time once and it lands in every learner's inbox on schedule.

  • Whole class or just yourself

    Send to every linked student in a practice session, or use it as a personal study reminder for yourself.

  • One-click into the next mock

    Each email contains a direct link to the assigned mock — no logging in, no class code re-entry.

Anonymous students are skipped until they capture an email — no spam, ever.

What teachers are saying

Early-access feedback from UK teachers.

“My Year 11s used this in the run-up to mocks and I could finally see who had actually practiced. The grade estimates were surprisingly accurate.”
Sarah T.
GCSE Physics teacher, London
“The feedback panel is brilliant. Instead of just telling students they got it wrong, it walks them through the examiner's logic. That's the bit I never have time for in class.”
James K.
Head of Science, Manchester
“I set it up in literally two minutes and sent the code out via our school Teams. By the next morning twelve students had already attempted the mock.”
Priya M.
Physics tutor, Bristol

Frequently asked questions

Can't find an answer? Contact us

Do learners need to create an account?

No. Learners join with a shareable link or 4-letter session code from their teacher, parent or tutor. They never create an account or provide a password. Their progress is stored anonymously in the browser and can optionally be synced across devices by providing an email address.

What subjects and exam boards are supported right now?

The current release covers GCSE/A-Levels (Foundation and Higher tier), mapped to the Edexcel and Cambridge specifications. We're expanding to other sciences and exam boards based on teacher demand — sign up and let us know what you need.

How does the AI grading work?

Multiple-choice and numeric questions are graded instantly and deterministically — no AI involved. Short-answer and 6-mark "explain" questions are marked by an AI model that follows our own rubric, written to match GCSE assessment objectives and standard mark-scheme structure, and the result is shown within a few seconds. Practice Dashboard owners can see the AI rationale alongside each learner's response.

How does the Practice Dashboard work?

Practice itself is always free for learners. The Practice Dashboard is a paid add-on for whoever wants to track learners — a teacher, parent or tutor. The personal plan is $10 per paid seat per year.

Can I get a discount for a large school?

Yes. The school plan is fully quote-based with Stripe or invoice billing, and the volume of seats drives the per-seat price down. Talk to support to get a quote tailored to your department or MAT.

How are mock exams created and kept up to date?

All questions, mark schemes, and learning bites are written in-house by experienced UK GCSE/A-Level teachers and reviewed against the current specifications. Questions are updated after each specification revision. If you spot an error, use the flag button on any question to report it.

Can learners use it on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The exam player is fully responsive. Exam mode renders beautifully on a tablet in landscape — the closest digital approximation to sitting a real exam.

What is the 100% money-back guarantee?

Simple: if a learner uses study.and.travel to prepare and still fails their exam, we refund 100% of what you paid for that seat. Get in touch through the Contact form and we'll sort it.
