Fact drills, quizzes and examination papers — with the mark scheme

Are you a pupil? Did your teacher send you a paper?

Then this is not the page you need — the link was cut short when it opened. Go back to the message, press and hold on the link, copy the whole link (or the whole message), and paste it here.

Your details

These go at the top of every paper you make. You can change any of them on a single paper later.

What this app does

It takes the lessons already written in your other Wake apps — Basic IT, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, English Exams and BECE — and builds a paper out of them. You choose the subject and the topics; it writes the questions; you change anything you like; it prints the paper and the mark scheme together.

It also sets reading: a passage from those lessons, or one you type in yourself, which a pupil reads on their own phone and is then drilled on — the key terms, the formulae, and, for an English passage, the words at work.

Your papers, your school's name and your school's badge stay on this device. The one exception is a paper you send to pupils by link: its questions (never the answers or the mark scheme) are kept on our website for about six months, so the link can be short enough for every phone to open.

📖 Guide for teachers

Your papers

Sent back to you

When a pupil answers on a screen and sends you the message it gives them, paste it here. A paper's multiple choice is marked for you and its writing is put in front of you to mark yourself; a reading has already marked itself, so what comes back is how they did and what they still miss.

Which subject?

The questions come from the lessons in that app. You need it only the first time — after that the subject works with no internet at all.

Which topics?

Tap every course or topic this paper should cover. Tap again to take one off.

What kind of paper?

What goes at the top?

Everything here is optional except the name of the paper. Leave a box empty and that line is simply left off.

Left empty, the app writes the ordinary ones for the kind of paper you chose.

The school's badge

Choose a picture from this device. It is kept on this device and printed at the top of the paper. It is never sent anywhere.

The questions

Change any wording you like, set the marks, throw out anything that does not suit your class, and add your own. Nothing is fixed.

Your paper

The mark scheme

Print this separately — it is not part of the pupil's paper.

What are they to read?

A reading is something a pupil reads on their own, and then answers questions about — with the app telling them why after every answer.

Your own passage

Type it, or paste it in. Leave a blank line between paragraphs. A short line on its own is used as a heading.

Whose words are these? Anything you paste here stays on this device, and reaches your pupils only if you send them the link. A page for your own class to study is the ordinary thing; a whole chapter out of somebody else's book, handed round, is not yours to give.

What is this reading for?

This changes what the app pulls out of the text, so it is worth getting right. Everything under it is optional.

What they will read and be asked

The app has read the passage and pulled this out of it. Change anything you like — you know your class and it does not.

The passage, page by page

What the pupils read, a page at a time. Mend a word, cut a sentence, add one, or rename a page. If you change a sentence that a question below quotes, look at that question too. Words between ** and ** print in bold.

What to look for while reading

The pupils see this before they start. Telling a reader what to hunt for is the cheapest thing there is that improves what they take away.

Key terms and their meanings

Formulae in the passage

Every formula the app found. The pupils are asked to pick out the ones that were really there, which is where a pupil who half-remembers comes unstuck.

Words at work

For a passage read as English, the app colours the words it is sure of and asks about those only. It never guesses at a word it cannot place — a wrong label taught confidently is worse than no label at all.

How the writer writes

Things worth noticing and enjoying, not only understanding.

The recap drill

This is practice, not an examination A reading marks itself on the pupil's own phone and says why after every answer, which is what makes it teach. That also means the answers travel with it. Set it as homework and as revision; set a paper when the marks are to count.

Your subscription

This is bought by the teacher, for the academic year — not by how many children are in the class. The free trial gives you three finished pieces of work — a paper or a reading, whichever you like — which is enough to see whether it saves you an evening.

Where should your receipt go?

Used for your receipt and for reaching you about your subscription — nothing else. No pupil’s name or mark is ever sent anywhere.

Given a code instead?

Paid online? You can also paste the payment number from your receipt email here.

If your school paid for you, or you paid Wake directly, type the code you were given. It needs internet once, and then works offline.

Your payment is checked on our own server, and what you buy is signed so that it cannot be copied from one phone to another. Your papers stay on this device either way.

By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions. See also our privacy notice.

Settings

Lock this app

Four figures, asked for when the app opens. It stops a curious pupil picking up your phone and reading tomorrow's paper. It is a lock on a door, not a safe.

Questions kept on this device

Each subject is fetched once and then kept here, so it works with no internet.

Backup

Your papers live only in this browser. Clearing your browsing data or changing device would lose all of them, so save a file and email it to yourself.

Erase everything

Wipes every paper and every answer sheet from this device, for good. There is no undo — save a backup first.
