Questions parents ask

What is the difference between Level 2 and Level 3?

Level 3 is the result sixth forms ask for; it corresponds to the old grades 1 to 5. Level 2 (old grades 6 and 7) is a pass that opens MCAST Foundation and ITS, not sixth form. The guide has the detail.

Which Paper II should my child register for?

If sixth form is possible, the Level 2-3 paper. The Level 1-2 paper caps the result at grade 6, which is a Level 2 at best. The choice is made at registration in October–November of Year 11 and cannot be changed afterwards. For Pure Mathematics at A-level at the church sixth forms, Maths needs the 3-3\* paper.

My child is a private candidate. Does this work?

Yes. Private candidates sit a controlled Paper I instead of school coursework; the courses cover the whole syllabus either way. The exam dates and the registration process are the same.

Does it replace private lessons?

No. It explains, tests, marks and reports, which is more than most private lessons do, but nobody is sitting next to your child. Many families will use it alongside a tutor; some will use it instead. Try the free stop and decide.

How is the marking done?

By AI, against the marking-scheme pattern for each question. Every written answer gets a mark and a comment within a minute. Parents see every one. It is reliable for the kind of answers SEC asks for and it is not a teacher. How our courses are built.

Is my child's data safe?

Answers, photos of handwritten work and time on the platform are stored on our server in the EU and sent to Anthropic (the AI company that marks the answers) for marking only. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone else. You consent to this at sign-up, and you can ask for everything to be deleted at any time. Privacy.

Can two children share one course?

No. Each login works on two devices at a time, a third device signs out the oldest one, and the parent dashboard shows which devices are in use. Courses are bought per child.

What if the syllabus changes?

The courses follow the syllabus for the 2027 exam. If MATSEC changes anything for 2027, we update the course at no cost. Courses for the 2028 exam will be separate.

Which devices?

Any phone, tablet or computer with a browser. Photographed answers work best from a phone.

How long does access last?

Until 30 September 2027, the end of the supplementary session. A resit in August 2027 is covered.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase if less than 20% of the course has been done.

Are you connected to MATSEC or the University of Malta?

No. We use their public syllabi, past papers, marking schemes and examiners' reports as source material. We are not licensed or endorsed by them.
