PRACTICE EXAMINATIONS ARE HERE First, a thank-you. A student reviewer told me the app was short on practice exams and not worth the money. They were right, and this update is my answer. WHAT'S NEW • Six complete practice examinations in the real VCAA shape: for every revolution, a 25-mark Section A question with four sources (a primary document, two historical interpretations and a visual source) and a 20-mark Section B essay. That is 24 source questions, 96 sources and 24 essays, each with full model responses and assessor notes — about 67k words of worked answers. • Every paper copies the exact part pattern and mark allocation of a recent VCAA paper (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and the VCAA sample), so you meet every configuration the examiners have used. • Timed full examinations for every pairing of revolutions: two Section A questions plus one essay, 70 marks, 120 minutes — the way the real paper runs. Plus per-revolution Section A and Section B drills, a source-skills drill, an essay drill and rapid recall. • Examiner tips from the 2023, 2024 and 2025 assessment reports, paraphrased into what to do and what to avoid, part by part. • Eight exam-technique guides: how the paper works, identify/outline parts, explain and analyse, the 8–10 mark evaluate, the essay's four criteria, using historians properly, the date-range trap and a two-hour time plan. • 70 new study notes (114k words in total now), 504 glossary terms with plain-English explainers, and 401 authored flashcards plus a glossary deck — chronology, individuals, popular movements, statistics and interpretations for all four revolutions. • Date ranges corrected to the current study design (American 1754–1789, French 1774–1795, Russian 1896–1927, Chinese 1912–1976) and the Chinese module re-anchored to 1912, which the examiners require. • A daily quiz that actually changes every day, a fixed examination timer, honest labelling of practice papers, and a one-tap link to the free official VCAA papers and reports. Altogether the app now holds 320 practice questions and roughly 253k words of original study content. To the reviewer: thank you for saying it plainly — it made the app better for everyone. To every Revolutions student heading into the end-of-year examination: judgement in the first sentence, evidence under every point, and good luck. You have got this.

Your unit progress actually moves now — the home screen, Practice Bank and Stats all read the same live numbers, so every screen agrees. Also new: pick up where you left off, a card pointing you at the topic needing the most work, and question counts beside every percentage. Empty practice sets are gone. Thanks to the biggest shark fan we know for spotting this one. Sharks hunt using electroreception — jelly-filled pores on the snout that pick up the faint electric field of a heartbeat, letting them find prey buried in sand.

Tick, tock. Every mock in the Exam Simulator now runs on its own clock — pick a 45-minute paper and you get 45 real minutes, no sneaking extra time (sorry). Hand it in and you'll get a time breakdown showing which questions quietly ate your afternoon, so you know exactly what to drill next. Sitting the real thing is the only part we can't make less stressful.

Updated app description to clarify that mock exam papers are original Amy-styled — not verbatim reproductions of past VCAA exams.
