A public site you can read without an account
Each part of Augment has its own page, with real questions, notes and cards on it, and the data booklets are free to read. Every count on the site is taken from what is published, with the date beside it.
Features - Improved
The question bank, notes and quick fire open faster
Their first pages need fewer trips to the server, so they appear sooner. The worksheet builder now offers only subjects that have questions.
- New
Review the quick-fire questions you missed
A review queue gathers the questions you got wrong last time and the ones that are slipping. A review round can mix subjects, so one round covers everything you practice.
Quick fire - New
Study a folder of flashcard decks as one
A folder now studies its decks together, with daily limits of its own. Filtered decks and custom study pull cards in by a search, for the night before a test.
Flashcards - New
Flashcards you answer by typing
A new card type asks you to type the answer before you see it, which suits vocabulary and spellings. It ignores case and spacing, accepts alternatives and shows which letters were wrong.
Flashcards - Improved
More ways to study flashcards
Study options now include a timer on each card and moving on by itself after a set time. You can also reset a deck to start it again, after typing its name to confirm.
- Content
Geography notes and glossary
Geography has a notes page for each part of its syllabus, and a glossary.
Subjects

- New
Keyboard shortcuts that work the same everywhere
Press ? on any page after you log in to see them all. G then a letter moves between sections, and you can turn off any shortcut you keep pressing by accident.
- New
Quick-fire progress, history and stats
Each subject has a map of its topics, a progress page that shows how your strength has changed, and every past round to go back through. A stats page puts all your subjects together.
Quick fire - New
Flashcard statistics
See what comes due in the next days, how often you remember cards, and your reviews day by day, for one deck, a folder or everything. Buried and suspended cards can now be found and brought back.
Flashcards - Content
Official flashcard decks for seven subjects
Biology, Business Management, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Environmental Systems and Societies and Physics have official decks you can add to your own, arranged by the syllabus.
Flashcards - Improved
Your age, asked once
Augment is for students aged 13 and over, so sign-up now asks your age in years, never your date of birth. From 13 to 17, a parent or guardian needs to agree to the terms.
For parents - New
Privacy policy and terms on their own pages
Both are written to be read, with a list of sections to jump between and the date of the last change at the top.
Privacy
- New
Quick fire
Rounds of 5, 10 or 20 short multiple-choice questions, and a strength for each topic that grows with right answers and fades when you stop practicing. A wrong pick shows a hint about why, and you choose again.
Quick fire - Content
Quick-fire questions for five subjects
Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Physics and Maths: analysis and approaches now have quick-fire questions.
Quick fire - Fixed
Strength needs more than one right answer
One right answer could fill a whole topic. Strength now builds from several questions answered right over days, and repeating the same question on one day adds little.
- Fixed
Broken math in some quick-fire questions
A few published questions showed stray symbols where their math should have been. We corrected and republished them.
- New
The day each notes page was last reviewed
Every notes page shows when it was last checked, or when it was published if nobody has reviewed it since.
Notes - Improved
A clearer notes reader
The outline of the page moved to the left, and a thin bar along the bottom shows how far through the page you are. Your own subjects are now listed first in notes and the question bank.
Notes - New
Download your data
Settings has a button that downloads everything Augment keeps about you, in one file.
- New
A monster for every account

Notes for six more subjects
Business Management, Digital Society, Environmental Systems and Societies, Maths: applications and interpretation, Psychology and Sports, Exercise and Health Science now have notes and a glossary.
Notes - New
Setting up your account
When you first log in, a short setup asks your name, your exam session, your subjects and levels, and what you want Augment for. Close it whenever you like and finish it later from the dashboard.
- New
A focus timer
Turn it on from the account menu and a 25-minute timer sits in the sidebar, with a break after each block. It keeps time as you move between pages, and it can pop out as a small card.
Focus timer - Fixed
Large glossaries show every term
Subjects with very long glossaries were missing terms from the A to Z page, the finder and the definitions on notes pages. Every term loads now.
- Content
Notes for the first six subjects
Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Physics and Maths: analysis and approaches have a notes page for each topic and subtopic of the syllabus, each subject with its own glossary.
