Common Questions

Foundation vs Advanced — which one should my child do first?
If your child is new to the AMC or scores below ~60% on a practice paper, start with Foundation. If they comfortably handle Q1-Q25 and want to crack the hardest 5 questions, jump straight to AMC Y7-8 Advanced Course.
How does the platform work?
Self-paced lessons inside your dashboard — your child opens a lesson, reads the concept, tries practice problems, uses hints if stuck, and reviews the worked solution. Mock exams are timed and auto-marked.
What do the free starter lessons include?
Access to the first 3 starter lessons. Unlock the full course at A$199
Can my child move up to the Advanced Course later?
Yes — once they're consistently scoring well on the Foundation practice and mocks, the Advanced Course is the natural next step for Q26-Q30 mastery.
