For teachers
Teachers' full guide
The illustrated walkthrough for teachers and study-group leads.
This guide follows the teacher workspace and the learning experience your pupils see. Some school and worksheet controls only appear when they have been enabled for your organisation. For short reference answers, see Following your class and Creating and assigning worksheets.
The screenshots come from the existing walkthrough. Some labels and controls have changed since they were taken; where they differ, the text describes how MCQ.SG works today.

1. Getting Around
A teacher who owns a class lands in the Teacher Workspace. Students land on their own learning dashboard.
Open full screenshotThe Teacher Workspace
The navigation has three groups:
- Class — Overview (class activity and how pupils answered each question), Topics and Saved.
- Students — Progress, and Roster where your class allows it.
- School — Worksheets and Feedback, shown when they're enabled for your school.
If you teach more than one class, use the class switcher to move between them.
Open full screenshotThe Student Dashboard
Students see their daily goal, recent activity, practice choices, worksheets you have given out, and links to Progress and History. Their main button continues or starts Daily Practice.
2. Students and Roster
Students is one of the three navigation groups. Progress is a fixed rolling 30-day view; Roster contains class administration.
Open full screenshotProgress and Triage
Active pupils are grouped by how they've done over their last 30 days of practice, so you can see at a glance who may need help and who is doing well. Pupils without recent practice appear separately, rather than with a zero score.
Open full screenshotIndividual Student Profiles
Select a student to see their 30-day accuracy, all-time totals, weak areas, and attempt history. Topic, skill, session, and worksheet links can open this same profile with a useful filter.
Open full screenshotRoster and Class Level
This screenshot shows an earlier Roster with a class-level control. Class and pupil levels are now managed by the MCQ.SG team.
In Roster, rename a pupil when the displayed name needs correcting, and help eligible pupils log in. Contact MCQ.SG to change the class's level or to add or remove pupils.
Open full screenshotReusable Student Groups
Create clearly labelled subsets such as “Demo support group.” Student groups can be edited or removed and then reused when choosing worksheet recipients.
Open full screenshotLogin Codes
Where available for school and non-profit classes, the key button creates a single-use code for an eligible student. The code expires after five minutes and is entered from the MCQ.SG login page.
3. Following the Class
The Class group has three views: Overview, Topics and Saved. They follow a period you choose: Last 7 days, Last 30 days or All time. The default is Last 30 days.
Open full screenshotQuestions
Questions shows how the class answered each item. Each question has one primary teaching classification, and the clearest class-wide patterns appear first. Open a card to see the exact outcome and the answer distribution by student.
Open full screenshotBookmarks and Saved
Bookmark questions you want to revisit; they collect in Saved. Saved follows the same period as the other Class views. Every bookmarked question stays in the list, but its class results reflect the chosen period. If no one answered it in that period, the card says so instead of showing a score.
Open full screenshotPresent to the Class
Choose Present, select one or more questions, and open the full-screen classroom view. Move with the arrow keys and reveal the answer after discussion. Presenter mode does not collect live answers from student devices.
Open full screenshotTopics and Skills
Topics lists topic and skill gaps in the active scope, weakest first. Select one to inspect the underlying attempts and identify who needs review.
Open full screenshotActivity cards
The cards at the top of Overview show questions answered, who practised, the practice trend, independent practice, and how students practised. Session and worksheet filters update the cards in place.
4. Worksheets
Worksheet authoring is available when the class belongs to an enabled school or tuition organisation. Worksheets appears in the School group when it's enabled, or when you already have access to worksheets.
Open full screenshotThe Library
The screenshot shows earlier tab names. The views are now This class, Created by you and Across the school.
This class shows worksheets pupils can currently access, including assignments made by another teacher or for the whole level. Use Created by you for authoring and Across the school to find published worksheets from colleagues. In the class list, student completion and question responses appear together under Class progress, while Timing shows when the worksheet was assigned and the latest student attempt.
Open full screenshotBuild a Worksheet
Choose the level, length, MCQ/OEQ mix, topics, skills, and difficulty. OEQ is available at every supported level from Primary 3 to Primary 6. Find questions, review the suggested set, replace or remove items, name it, and save.
Open full screenshotAssign a Worksheet
Assign the worksheet to any combination of:
- Everyone in a class.
- A reusable Student group.
- One or more individual students.
- An eligible whole level.
Each teacher chooses the recipients of their own assignment. To change yours, open Manage assignment; clearing the final recipient removes it. Another teacher’s overlapping assignment continues to provide access, and started work and results are retained. The worksheet’s maintainer can also end a colleague’s assignment, or all active assignments, but can’t change the pupils a colleague chose.
Open full screenshotReview and Reuse
The detail page keeps this class’s access and progress prominent. Use the worksheet menu for Preview, History, editing and archive. Only the maintainer can archive; if the worksheet still has active assignments, the option is End assignments and archive, which ends them first. Started work stays available, and restoring later brings the worksheet back unassigned. History names who made each change and labels affected classes, levels, Student groups, or students. Student attempts stay in Progress and Results.
Open full screenshotStudent Matrix
The Student matrix compares each student across the class’s worksheets. Search remains available, while list-only progress filters stay out of the matrix. Use the separate student and worksheet sort controls, the arrows, or horizontal scrolling to move through a larger set. Worksheet headers show the class’s completion rate, and in-progress cells show attempted questions.
Open full screenshotResults
See who has not started, is in progress, or has completed the work. As answers arrive, the results view adds scores and question-level evidence for the selected class.
5. What Students See
Students practise through Daily Practice, Focused Practice, and worksheets. MCQ and OEQ both include immediate learning support.
Open full screenshotDaily Practice
Daily Practice is the personalised default: a short set chosen from the student's level and recent work, with a daily goal that builds a regular habit.
Open full screenshotOpen-Ended Entry Points
Students can use Surprise me for a quick OEQ start or How to use? for an explanation of the workflow before practising.
Open full screenshotFocused Practice
With Ranger, including Ranger provided by a school, students choose MCQ or OEQ, level, topics, difficulty, and length. MCQ sets offer 5, 10, 15, or 20 questions; OEQ sets offer 3, 6, or 9.
Open full screenshotHelp Before Answering
Students can answer by tapping or typing, and supported fields include voice input. If they are stuck before answering, Need help? opens the Tutor for guidance that helps them think the question through, where the question and class settings allow it.
Open full screenshotMCQ Feedback
After an attempt, students see whether it was correct, a short explanation, and an expandable detailed explanation of why.
Open full screenshotAsk After an Attempt
Ask a question opens a question-specific Tutor chat with suggested prompts and text or voice input. OEQ uses the same pattern through Ask the tutor.
Open full screenshotAutomatic OEQ Marking
Written answers are marked part by part, including partial credit. Students receive coaching, a suggested answer, and reasoning steps rather than only a tick or cross.
The screenshot is a representative example rendered with the same result components used by the app.
6. Teacher AI Tutor Controls
This section is conditional. If your class has no teacher policy control, no AI Tutor setting is shown.
Open full screenshotClass Policy
Depending on how the class is configured, Settings may provide:
- Simple control — turn student Tutor access on or off.
- School-hours control — available Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 1:30pm Singapore time.
Allow outside school hours keeps access on until the teacher turns the override off. These controls govern availability; they do not provide teacher access to student Tutor transcripts.
7. Reports for Parents
Where weekly parent reports are enabled (with Ranger access, including through a school), families receive a concise account of recent practice and can revisit it in the Learning Journal.
Open full screenshotThe Weekly Report
It summarises questions answered, accuracy, topics, what is working, what needs attention, the current focus, and practical suggestions for home.
The screenshot is a representative example rendered with the same report components used by the app.
8. Student Progress and History
Students can review their own attempts and see how they're doing.
Open full screenshotHistory
History groups past practice by date and can narrow the list to answers that need review or questions the student skipped.
Open full screenshotProgress
Progress shows how a student is doing overall and by topic and question type, helping them choose what to practise next. It reflects practice on MCQ.SG, not an exam prediction.
