About Online Tests

You have probably done an online test before. The tests - also called quizzes - use different question types, such as multi-choice and short-answer.

Example Quiz
This quiz - just one question - is based on a past paper question: AQA June 2010 Paper 1 43055/1H.

You could try entering wrong answers, such as '-2', '4' and '8', and checkout the feedback. Click the Reset button for another attempt.

 

You have to log in to do a quiz, apart from the Example Quiz. By logging in, your answers are saved so that you can review them later and repeat a quiz. You can log in with a visitor account or create your own account.

You may wish to practise the process. If you are not familiar with entering answers online you may lose marks. Here is a Practice Quiz to get you started.

Practice Quiz
The Practice Quiz is a simple introduction to doing a quiz online. It is not a Maths quiz but it includes advice on how to type in answers such as a fraction or a calculation. You are recommended to do it before trying the online tests and PPQ quizzes. Click

Pre-GCSE Diagnostic Test

To start a GCSE Maths course you need basic skill in decimals, fractions and percentages. Try this pre-GCSE Maths online quiz and check your readiness for a GCSE Maths course. Suitable for adult students considering a GCSE Maths course.

The question paper is optional. It contains the questions and space for your working. If you do not use it you will still need to work out most of the answers on paper first.

To download and print the questions, click

Topic Tests

It is best to answer the questions on paper. The question paper includes space for your written answers. Then submit the answers with the Topic Test quiz.

There are three Topic tests on Statistics and Number, both Higher tier. For more detail on the individual tests, see the resources page.

PPQ (Past Exam Paper) Quizzes

The original PPQs below are set up to mark the calculator part of a selection of the November 2007 AQA past papers. New PPQs are being added, starting with the June 2011 Unit 2 higher paper, 43602H. It is a good idea to attempt the PPQ questions on paper before submitting your answers online.

Go to the maths papers page to download a past paper for the quizzes listed below.

There are some differences between PPQ questions and the question in the exam paper. For example, in order to give marks for showing your working, some of the PPQ questions require that you enter an answer for each step in a calculation. For those who forget to provide evidence of working this may help you focus more on the quality of the working and not just on obtaining an 'answer'.

The PPQs are intended to help with revision and so provide suggestions on how to tackle a question.

New PPQ - June 2011 Unit 2 Higher
The first new style past paper quiz is a Unit 2 Higher 43602H exam. You are recommended to answer on paper first, and to write out calculations in full. It is a good idea to read a question through in the exam paper first before answering online. As with the other quizzes, solutions to the questions are provided with the feedback.

The first link below is a Preview of the quiz - just the first six questions. The new quiz style includes a feature, not used in the preview, that means you have to log in with your own user account. You can access a Preview with a 'visitor' login, but with a New PPQ you must use a personal username.
More Info The New style quizzes will require you to register and to log in with a personal username.

The reason is that if you repeat a new quiz, your answers from the previous attempt are displayed. You can then correct those answers if necessary, answer previously unanswered question and then re-submit for re-marking.

That is not possible when you share a 'visitor' login with others. One advantage of this is that you do not have to answer all the questions at the first attempt. You can complete the quiz over several sessions.

Online GCSE Maths Tests

The tests are:

  • a Practice Quiz - useful if you have not done an online quiz.
  • a pre-GCSE Test to check your readiness to start a GCSE Maths course.
  • the Topic Tests, as in the tests on Statistics (handling data) and Number.

Also there is a selection of online Past Paper Quizzes (PPQs), used to mark your AQA past papers - explained below.

The tests and exam papers are marked by an online quiz tool. When you submit your answers for marking you receive explanations and feedback.

In the November 2007 PPQ quizzes the questions are not reproduced in full in all the quizzes. Completing the quiz without using the past exam paper may not be possible. You can download the past papers and find the PPQ quizzes here.

The Topic Tests and the pre-GCSE quiz include a question paper with the questions and space for your written answers. Using the question paper, or at least writing your working on paper, is recommended although not essential. The questions are included in the online quiz.

There are links to the test question papers and all the quizzes on this page. Links to the AQA past papers for the Nov 2007 PPQ quizzes are on the maths papers page.

When you click on a quiz it opens in a new window. If there is a problem, the site may be busy - try refreshing the page or please return later.

The quiz software requires that you login using either a visitor account or, better, you can create your own account. Your answers are saved so that you can review the answers and feedback later.
More Info If you log in as a visitor remember the username and the attempt number. You can then log in with the same username later and review your answers. You can re-do the quiz as many times as you wish. With a visitor login you need to know the attempt number so that you can locate your previous attempt. Previous attempts are listed at the bottom of the page after you login. To review an attempt, locate it in the list and click the attempt number on the left or the grade on the right.
