How Ilmino helps
Practise it, get it marked, know what is next.
Marked like the real exam
Every answer, typed or handwritten, is marked against the actual mark scheme, with the reason for every mark shown alongside your answer.
Interactive textbook
Worked examples and explanations sit alongside the practice questions, so a student can look up the method before trying again. Physics has the full interactive textbook now, with other subjects following.
Timed mock papers
Sit full papers in exam mode, under real time pressure, then get a paper-by-paper breakdown of marks gained and lost by topic.
Lumi explains the step you missed
When a mark is lost, Lumi, the AI tutor, walks through exactly where the working went wrong and what to do differently next time.
