I find this site very helpful for revising for my GCSEs.
Pros:
-Entertaining progress system
-Leader board and competing with friends encourages you to do more revision
-A wide range of subjects
-I find it a helpful way to learn and remember things
-exam questions to test your knowledge
Cons:
-Some mistakes eg. spelling and incorrect information
-Annoying scroll system sometimes doesn't work
-Can't always progress in activities...
-RAGE (when you're one mark from 100% and get a question wrong and have to re-do everything!)
People say that the tests are inaccurate as you can give yourself all the marks but I think it's still a good system. If you cheat you're less likely to get a good mark in the final exam as you get your hopes up and never learn the actual right answer, so while you can give yourself 'points' you're not actually achieving anything when it comes to your education.
But that's a minor error. I still find the exam questions really helpful, and think it's a good site overall.
