How Zen IQ helps with ICT

Exam papers, marked like an examiner

Papers written in the Edexcel style for ICT, with a mark scheme, marked part by part, crediting an error carried forward the way a real examiner does.

Your weak spot map

Every topic below turns strong, shaky or weak from your marks and flashcards, so you can see where marks are going. A target test aims straight at the weakest.

Call a tutor

Talk a topic through out loud with Zehan or Maya. They answer in a second, you can cut in, and they write it on a board as they explain.

Video lessons and mind maps

Any topic taught in about four minutes as an animated lesson, or drawn as a mind map where every idea leads to a lesson, a quiz or a call.

Flashcards and study guides

Cards that come back just before you would forget them, and study guides in three lengths, ready to print or download for Word.
