Follow these four steps to get started.

1. First go to the demo page.

   • Complete the initial test (make sure you get some wrong so we can show you the full 3-step process).
   • View your errors, then do the similar practice questions.
   • Complete the retest test (again make sure you get some wrong so we can show you our reports).
   • The process ends with your report showing you the areas you need to work on.
   
   

   This 4 minute video tutorial explains how the adaptive tests work.

   

2. Now ask your parent/guardian to Register as a parent using their email address.

3. Next they will create a unique child account for you to use during the trial to take the tests.

4. You are now ready to start your free trial and take your first full length test.

Need a bit more support to get started? No problem, just follow the 5 session plan below.

SESSION 1: TO DO WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN

1. Try a short demo test across English, Maths, VR or NVR so that you can see how Planet BOFA works.

2. Our automatic marking will show you:
- Explanations to go with any questions answered incorrectly
- Practice questions for you to complete on topics you may be struggling with

3. Now try the 'retest' in the same subject
- It's personal to you, based on your previous answers
- We only test you on your weaker areas, there's no time wasted on what you already know

4. We'll produce an instant report to show you:
- Any questions answered incorrectly from your retest - Answers and explanations to these questions
- The Q&As sorted into topics that need more study time

SESSION 2: TO DO ON YOUR OWN

The first full-length test.

SESSION 3: TO DO WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN

- Look over the initial questions that you didn't get right
- Read our easy-to-follow explanations and try the practice questions
- Wait 2-7 days for your retest to become available (the system will automatically schedule this for you)
- In the meantime you can start a new test in a different subject

SESSION 4: TO DO ON YOUR OWN

- Take the 'retest' when it becomes available
- Congratulations you have completed all stages of your first test

SESSION 5 ONWARDS:

Planet BOFA explanations are easy to understand. You'll be able to progress to doing the practice-question sessions on your own, and managing your own test cycles.
