For parents and guardians
They asked you to look at this.Here is what it is.
Revision Genie is a UK revision site for GCSE, A-Level and BTEC. It teaches a topic, sets questions on it, then marks written answers the way an examiner would. Two minutes and you will know whether it is worth a yes.
No card needed to start, and nothing is charged unless you choose to.
The conversation you just had
What they were actually asking for
Teenagers are not famous for making a business case. Here is the same request, written out properly.

Wednesday 5 August
Something built for their actual exam
Not a general homework helper. They pick their exact course and exam board, and everything they are shown is what that board examines.
Practice at the bit they avoid
Written exam answers are what most students skip revising, because marking them needs a teacher. This marks them instantly against the mark scheme.
A tutor at a fraction of the price
They can start free today, no card details needed. And if they want everything unlimited, a whole month costs less than a single hour with a private tutor.
No card required
What it actually does
Four steps, on a loop
It is not a chatbot they ask for answers, and it is not a pile of notes. It works the way a good tutor does, and this is the whole of it.
It teaches the topic
They pick a subject, exam board and topic. A step by step lesson walks them through it and stops to check they followed, rather than handing over a wall of notes to reread.
It asks them real exam questions
Questions come from a bank of over 50,000 written to the standard their board actually sets, so the wording and the mark allocations are the ones they will meet in the exam hall.
It marks what they wrote
This is the part that is hard to get anywhere else. They write a full answer, and it comes back marked against the real mark scheme, showing which marks they got, which they missed, and the sentence that would have earned each one.
It remembers where they are weak
Every wrong answer feeds a picture of what they have not got yet, so revision points itself at their weak topics instead of the ones they already enjoy. They can show you the same dashboard their teacher sees.
The scale of it
You may not have heard of us. They have.
These are live figures from the platform, not a launch press release.
The honest answers
The bits you are actually wondering about
Including the two where the answer is not entirely in our favour.
The short answer
It can be used lazily. The design pushes hard the other way.
Will it just do the work for them?
We are not going to pretend any tool cannot be misused. But they are asked questions and have to write the answers themselves, and the thing they come back for is the marking, which only exists if they wrote something first. Copying an answer out of it earns them a lesson they did not do and a mark they cannot repeat in the exam hall.
From the people using it
Not our words
The only review that settles this is whether students of their own accord keep opening it. These are theirs.

It is a UK revision website for GCSE, A-Level and BTEC students that teaches a topic, sets questions on it, and marks written answers against the real exam mark scheme so students can see where the marks actually went.
No. It is built around the actual specifications for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and the other UK boards, so a question on a topic is the question that board would ask, and marking follows that board mark scheme. A general chatbot has no idea which exam your child is sitting, and will happily teach content that is not on their course.
It is deliberately built the other way round. Students are taken through a topic step by step and then have to answer questions themselves, including written answers that get marked and returned with feedback. The value is in the marking and the feedback, which only works if they do the work.
No. There is a free plan with no card required, and plenty of students stay on it. If your child is in a class whose teacher has signed the school up, they get full access at no cost to you at all.
There are two options: a subscription you can cancel at any time, or a one off payment that runs to the end of your child exam year and then simply stops. The one off pass exists precisely so nobody ends up paying for a revision app in the September after their exams finished. Current prices are on the pricing page.
No card needed
Let them show you
Setting up the free plan takes a minute and asks for no payment details. Have them walk you through one lesson and one marked answer, and you will know whether this is worth a yes.
