Questions, answered

Short answers about the exam tracker and about the arcade. If something here is wrong or missing, say so and it gets fixed.

Exam tracker

Where does the timetable come from?

Straight from the school's two Term 1 sheets for AY 2026-27: the examination timetable and the Term 1 portion list. Every paper code on the page was checked back against those documents. If the school reissues either sheet, this needs updating by hand, so treat your school diary as the final word.

Why are some subjects missing?

Hindi, Accounting, Business, Global Perspectives and Economics are deliberately left out, because they are not subjects being taken. Everything else on the timetable is here: seven subjects, twenty one papers.

What is the countdown counting?

The time left until the next paper starts, in India Standard Time, down to the second. It shows IST no matter where your device thinks it is, so opening the page on a laptop set to another timezone gives the same answer.

Is my tick-off progress saved?

Yes, in this browser, on this device, using local storage. It survives closing the tab and restarting the computer. It does not travel: tick a topic on your laptop and your phone will not know about it. Clearing your browsing data clears it too.

Does anyone else see what I have ticked?

No. There is no account and no database. Nothing you tick leaves your browser, so there is nothing for a teacher, a parent or me to look at.

A date or a topic looks wrong. What now?

Trust the school sheets over this page and tell me what is off. The syllabus PDF puts three subjects in side by side columns, which makes a couple of the English and Hindi rows genuinely ambiguous to read, so a correction there is very welcome.

Games

Do I need to sign up?

No, and you never will. There is no login, no password and no email box anywhere on the site. Press play and you are playing.

Where are my top scores kept?

In your browser's local storage, the same as the exam tracker. They are per device and per browser, they survive a restart, and clearing site data wipes them. There is no leaderboard, so the only score you are chasing is your own.

How do the medals work?

Every game has three thresholds. Clear the first and you get bronze, then silver, then gold. After a run the results screen tells you what the next tier needs, so you always know what you are aiming at.

Why are some games fifteen seconds and others sixty?

Pure recall rounds, like vocabulary, symbols and definitions, run for fifteen seconds because a question takes about two. Anything needing real working out, like Ohm's law, Pythagoras or solving for x, gets a full minute. The clock also pauses while a correct answer is on screen, so reading it costs you nothing.

Are the questions accurate for IGCSE?

They follow the Grade 10 syllabus as closely as a student can manage, but this is a hobby project and not an exam board. If a question disagrees with your textbook, the textbook wins. Use this as practice, not as your only revision.

Can I link someone to one specific game?

Yes. Every game has its own page and its own address, so you can bookmark or share any of them directly. Each subject has a page too.

Does it work on a phone, or offline?

It is built for a phone first, and every game fits the screen without scrolling. Because everything runs in the browser with nothing fetched mid-game, a run keeps working if your signal drops part way through.
