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

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.
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.
Tap every course or topic this paper should cover. Tap again to take one off.
You do not have to. Leave this alone and the whole topic is used.
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.
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.
Type the terms you want drilled, one on each line. The app looks each one up in the lessons you chose and writes the meaning — you can change any of them on the next screen.
Change any wording you like, set the marks, throw out anything that does not suit your class, and add your own. Nothing is fixed.
Print this separately — it is not part of the pupil's paper.
Everything they got wrong, with the right answer beside it. Do not send this while other pupils have still to sit the paper.
Just the mark and the percentage. Safe to send to one pupil before the rest of the class has written it.
Opens the printing screen. Choose Save as PDF, then send the file on WhatsApp — this is the closest thing to handing the paper back.
A reading is something a pupil reads on their own, and then answers questions about — with the app telling them why after every answer.
Type it, or paste it in. Leave a blank line between paragraphs. A short line on its own is used as a heading.
This changes what the app pulls out of the text, so it is worth getting right. Everything under it is optional.
The app has read the passage and pulled this out of it. Change anything you like — you know your class and it does not.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Things worth noticing and enjoying, not only understanding.
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.
Used for your receipt and for reaching you about your subscription — nothing else. No pupil’s name or mark is ever sent anywhere.
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.
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.
Each subject is fetched once and then kept here, so it works with no internet.
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.
Wipes every paper and every answer sheet from this device, for good. There is no undo — save a backup first.
A PDF is a file every phone can open, and it looks exactly like the printed paper. Your phone makes one from its own printing screen — so press the button below, and then:
On an Android phone: at the top, where it names a printer, choose Save as PDF. Then press the round save button.
On an iPhone: press the share button (a square with an arrow coming out of it) and choose Save to Files — or send it straight to WhatsApp from there.
On a computer: where it says Destination or Printer, choose Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF), then press Save. Not Adobe PDF: that one asks for a paid licence.
Type your four figures.
Your email address. The receipt goes there, and nothing else is sent to it.
