Choose a topic, then test yourself
After signing in and completing any first-use setup, choose from the courses and topics offered in your account. Mox uses stored Oak National Academy curriculum questions, including multiple-choice and short-answer questions. Available questions depend on the selected topic and the content currently held in the app.
Start with a short session you can finish and review. New practice quizzes default to five questions; Free accounts can request up to 20 and Premium up to 60. A topic may offer fewer usable questions than requested. The three-question starter is an introduction, not a complete assessment of a subject.
- Answer before looking for a hint or explanation.
- For multi-select questions, consider each option rather than choosing the first familiar phrase.
- For written responses, be precise about the definition, relationship or process being asked for.
Use feedback as a clue, not an official grade
The ordinary quiz checker compares multiple-choice selections with the stored correct options and normalises short written responses against stored accepted answers. That accepted-answer matching is not AI marking and can miss a valid alternative wording.
Feedback and explanations help you inspect a mistake. AI-assisted explanations and development support are separate from the ordinary answer checker; AI output can still be wrong. Check important disagreements against your teacher’s material rather than treating the result as an examiner’s judgement.
Turn a result into a next step
If a diffusion answer says only ‘particles move’, compare it with the direction requested: from higher to lower concentration. Write down the missing condition, explain it aloud, then try a different question rather than memorising the previous answer.
Resume a session and revisit your answers
Quiz sessions and submitted answers are saved to your account. Use the continuation or history options in the learning area to reopen unfinished practice rather than starting the same session again. Completed sessions can be reviewed to see the questions, your responses and the feedback.
Saved practice is useful when you have only ten minutes: finish a small part now and return to the rest later. A repeated answer can be good rehearsal, but it is not fresh evidence that you can answer independently.
Let evidence guide targeted revision
Your learning dashboard uses saved answers to show topic progress and areas needing attention. A single mistake is not enough to label an entire topic weak. Where the app offers Develop or Retest, it connects recorded weaknesses with targeted support and further questions.
Try to understand the exact misconception before doing another whole-topic quiz. Work through the available explanation and practice, then answer fresh questions without hints. Changes in progress depend on saved evidence, not simply opening a lesson or watching a video. Some targeted support depends on your plan and available content.
What these quizzes do—and do not—cover
Mox is a revision aid, not a complete bank of every past paper, subject or exam board. Check the courses and topics offered after signing in and compare them with your own GCSE specification. A curriculum question is not necessarily a past-paper question from your board.
Free accounts have a five-mark daily allowance resetting at UK midnight; regular quiz submissions may use this allowance even where the answer check is deterministic. Premium removes that marking allowance, not the per-quiz question cap. Free targeted development also has a monthly allowance. Follow the app’s current allowance messages and use the Pricing page for plan details.
Common questions
Is every written answer marked by AI?
No. Ordinary short-answer questions use normalised accepted-answer matching. AI explanations and learning support are separate features, and a matching result is not an official exam mark.
Can I leave a quiz and finish later?
Submitted answers and quiz sessions are saved to your account. Reopen an unfinished session through the learning area’s continuation or history options.
Does Mox cover my whole exam board?
Full coverage of every board and subject is not promised. Check the topics offered in your account against the specification for the qualification you are studying.
Is topic progress the same as flashcard progress?
No. Topic evidence comes from question answers; flashcard scheduling uses your recall ratings and review history. Practise both remembering facts and applying them.
