Stop revising what you already know.
Find the bit you don't.
Five minutes of short written answers, and Study Feed tells you exactly where your understanding stops — the process you can't name, the link you can't make, the idea you can't apply to a question you haven't seen. Then it builds the cards that close that gap, and marks what you write against the real Achieved / Merit / Excellence criteria.
“Because it is hotter so it goes faster.”You didn't name kinetic energy, collision frequency, or the activation energy threshold.
“the reaction goes faster”…because the particles gain kinetic energy and collide more frequently.
“they bump into each other more”More of those collisions now exceed the activation energy.

Why revision feels like guessing
There are three ways to not know something.
And they need three different fixes. Re-reading your notes only ever helps with the first one, which is why an hour of it can change nothing — you were already fine at the naming.
You can't name it
The term, the process, the factor. You read the question and nothing arrives.
Flashcards fix this one. It is the only one they fix.You can name it, but not say why
You know heating speeds a reaction up. You can't say that more collisions clear the activation energy.
This is where most Achieved answers actually stop.You can explain it, but not use it
You can recite the mechanism, then meet a situation you haven't seen and freeze.
Nothing you can re-read will teach you this.The Merit gap
“I always get Achieved and I don't know why.”
Because Achieved is describing and Merit is explaining, and nobody ever shows you the difference on your own writing. Report comments say “add more detail”. That isn't a thing you can do. This is.
“The rate increases because the particles have more energy and collide more.”
“The rate increases because the particles gain kinetic energy, so a greater proportion of collisions exceed the activation energy.”
The word that decides your grade
NCEA marks the verb, not the word count.
“Describe” and “Discuss” are different questions, and writing a beautiful description for a Discuss question caps you at Achieved no matter how long it is. Every long-answer card here is built around its command verb, and the marking checks whether you actually did what the verb asked.
Not “what happens” — why it happens. State the change, name the mechanism, then link it to the outcome. A description with no “because” is an Achieved answer wearing a Merit coat.
Your material, not a generic bank
Exam questions written from your teacher's slides.
Drop in the PDF, the slide deck, a photo of the whiteboard, or type a topic. It reads the diagrams as well as the text, then writes long-answer questions with their own A/M/E criteria — plus quick cards for the recall you still need. Turn on “Only my material” and nothing outside your notes gets in.
Between now and November
It brings a topic back the day before you'd forget it.
Externals test a year of work in three hours. Every answer sets when you'll see that card next, so Term 1 content resurfaces on its own instead of being cram-read the night before. You never build a revision timetable — the feed already is one.
Three ways to practise
Recognising an answer isn't knowing it.
Picking the right option out of four feels like knowing. In the exam there are no options. So the practice climbs: pick it, then produce it, then write it properly.
Find my gaps
The five-minute written test that tells you which rung you fall off, and what specifically was missing. One tap turns everything you missed into cards.
Learn
Takes a deck and drills it until you can produce every answer, not just recognise one. Pick it out of four the first time; write it from memory the second. Miss one and it comes straight back.
Quiz
A quick graded check before a test. The wrong options are matched to the right one, so you can't spot the answer by its shape — which is the only thing most quiz apps are actually testing.
When the card isn't enough
Ask, without leaving the question.
A tutor sits in the corner of every screen and can already see the card you're on, so “why is that the answer?” just works. Stuck on a past paper at 10pm? Photograph the question and ask about the photo.
Three steps
Find the gap, close it, prove it's closed.
Feed it your notes
A PDF, your teacher's slides, a document, a photo — or just the topic name if that's all you've got.
Close it
Turn the gaps into cards in one tap, then drill them until you can produce every answer from memory — not just recognise one.
Prove it
Write a real six-mark answer. Get it marked against A, M and E, and see the Merit version of your own sentence.
You already know most of it.
