How school assessment works
In Years 11 to 13, your school assesses each subject in two ways. It sets internal tasks during the year. Exams test what you know at the end of it.
An internal task might be a report, an investigation, or an essay. You work on it over days or weeks. An exam gives you a set time, a room, and the questions.
Your own work, in both kinds
For both kinds, the work you hand in must be your own. Your school sets out its rules on this. Read them, and ask your teacher when a case is unclear.
Internal tasks carry the more direct risk. You work on them at home, with tools close by. A paragraph a tool wrote belongs to the tool, even after you edit it.
Exams test the same rule another way. In the exam room you have what you learned, and nothing more. A student who leaned on a tool meets the exam with less practice behind them.
Study habits that hold up
Good study habits work the same with or without a tutor. These five suit most subjects.
Start from the task
Find out what each task or exam asks you to show. Ask your teacher what it requires. Plan your study around those skills.
Recall, then check
Close the book and write down what you remember. Then check it against your notes. The gaps you find are the topics to study next.
Explain it out loud
Explain a concept as you would to a younger student. Where you stall, you have found a gap. Go back to that point and work through it again.
Space the work out
Short sessions across several weeks hold better than one long night before a deadline. Put each topic on a calendar and return to it.
Draft, then revise
Write a rough draft of a task weeks before the due date. Ask for feedback on what to strengthen. Then rewrite it yourself, in your own words.
How Edapt's senior curriculum works
Years 11 to 13 study Edapt's own senior curriculum. You choose a subject, such as Biology, Mathematics, History, or Accounting. Then you choose a focus within it.
Edapt writes the teaching for each focus. Your school sets its own course, and your teacher is the source for what a task requires.
Questions, not answers
The tutor answers your question with a better question. You choose how much help it gives.
- Guided gives three hints, each closer than the last.
- Challenge is a test, with no hints.
- Explain teaches one question until you answer it unaided.
Feedback on your own draft
Paste a draft and the tutor keeps it for the session. You paste it once. It points to what to strengthen and asks how you would do it. The rewriting stays with you.
A guardrail on your work
Edapt is designed to refuse writing your work. Two checks run on each exchange. The first reads your message before the tutor answers. The second reviews what the tutor writes.
Both look for work you could hand in as your own. That means an essay, a thesis, a topic sentence, or an opening line. When they find it, the tutor asks a question instead.
A parent holds the account and adds each student. The family dashboard shows each student's sessions and mastery.
Who runs Edapt
Edapt is operated by Agentic Limited and is a private study tutor. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency or qualifications body. Your school and your teachers decide what counts as your own work.
