Psychology · Unit 31 mark

A researcher gives one group a caffeine pill and the other an identical pill with no caffeine, then measures reaction time. What is the independent variable?

STAGE 01

Learn

Ask Vic anything. It is reading your state's real study design or syllabus, not recalling something about it.

A sample exchange — Vic reads your actual study design or syllabus.

STAGE 02

Why does raising the temperature too far stop an enzyme working?

Tap to flip
Answer

Heat denatures the enzyme — it changes the shape of the active site, so the substrate can no longer bind.

Tap to flip back

The same six controls as the real Tests page — drag Marks, then Generate.

STAGE 03

Paste it or photograph it. Every phrase gets checked, not just the final grade.

Solid technique identification, but two of four criteria need the analysis to go one level deeper — see the underlines below.

The rest of it

Quizzes
Five questions, one at a time, marked as you tap. The lowest-effort thing here and the one to start with.
Flashcards, and a library of other people's
Build a deck, or use one another student published. Spaced repetition schedules the reviews for you.
Questions that bring their own source
History, Legal Studies, Business Management and twelve others get a stimulus written alongside the question. A diary entry, a case extract, a set of figures.
A schedule off your real exam dates
Your actual exam dates with a countdown — VCAA, NESA, QCAA, SCSA or the SACE Board, whichever is yours.
A streak
It is on the dashboard. It works better than it has any right to.
Upload your assessment
Paste the questions or upload the PDF, and the tutor knows what you are working on for the rest of the session.
Highlight anything and ask why
In a model answer, highlight the phrase you do not follow and ask about that phrase instead of re-reading the whole thing.
Past exams, with the examiner's answer
1,584 questions out of real past exam papers. 791 of them carry the model answer printed in the matching examiner report.

Every certificate in Australia, one tutor

This is a national product, not a Victorian one with the rest bolted on. VCE, HSC, QCE, WACE, SACE, NTCET, TCE and the ACT Senior Secondary Certificate are each marked against that state's own real study design or syllabus — a NSW student is marked against the NESA syllabus and a Queensland student against the QCAA syllabus, because handing a student another state's rules is worse than handing them nothing.

Pick your certificate — each has its own page, with the subject list that certificate actually has:

Three states also have a free guide to how their school-based marks are turned into the number on the certificate. It is the part almost nobody explains, and it is different in every state:

Compare to what you're paying now

1 private tutor session per week for a year (at $50/hr) = $2,600

That is about 4% of what a weekly tutor costs, and about a seventh of Edrolo's $60/mo All Access subscription.

Why pay when free AI tutors exist?

Fair question. Free AI tutors are real, and if you want a topic explained, use one. The difference is marking. A generic chatbot reads your paragraph and says "pretty good". StudyDesign AI marks it against the real criteria your own certificate is assessed on — VCAA, NESA, QCAA, SCSA, SACE Board, TASC or BSSS, whichever one marks you — and underlines the sentence an examiner would dock, in the examiner's language, because it is built on the criteria and examiner reports rather than guessing what school assessment looks like.

You get 5 free AI actions a day in your first week, then 3 a day (messages, marking, tests), no card needed, so you can test that claim on your own assessment task before paying anything. A longer, honest comparison with ChatGPT is here.

Someone else paying? There is a page for them.
