Updates (Changelog) - September 21-22, 2026

Math Refresher 101

A free course, open to everyone — subscription or not.
Marked Recommended Before Core, and sits first in the course list.
A reintroduction to arithmetic by hand: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.
Every lesson is a click-through slideshow — one step per slide, not a wall of text.
Step-by-step walkthroughs of long multiplication and long division.
Four practice tests, 20 questions each. They start easy and get harder as you go.
Questions are laid out like a worksheet — stacked sums, and the long-division bracket.
Covers why it matters: there is no calculator on the written exam.

Core Mock Exam

A full-length mock of the Core written exam: 90 questions, 90 minutes.
Built to the same balance of subject areas as the real paper.
Four different papers (Forms A–D) — a retake is a different exam, not the same one again.
Opens once you've sat the practice exam in all four Core courses.
Your result is broken down by subject area, so you can see which one to go back to.

Exam Rules

The calculator has been removed from all written practice exams. The real written examination doesn't give you one, so neither do we.
Load chart tests still have a calculator, the same as the real thing.
A new briefing screen before every exam explains the rules, the tools and the clock — and it appears before the timer starts, so reading it costs you nothing.
Use the Notepad for working out, the same way you'd use a whiteboard at a test centre.

"I'm stuck on this" on every lesson — opens a question to an instructor already filled in with the lesson you were on.
Your instructor sees exactly which lesson you were looking at, and can open it in one click.
Slides in lessons, for anything easier to follow one step at a time.
Each Core course now shows your real exam score, not a "readiness" figure.
Readiness meters per certification on the dashboard — Core, TLL and TSS — which appear once you start that track.
Core Readiness counts every Core course, whether you're enrolled in it or not.

A new Certification page explaining how the process works and the steps involved.
The homepage has been rebuilt — same information, about half the length, benefits first.
Live counts on the homepage: practice questions, practice exams and lessons, read straight from the site.
Courses page redesigned to match the site, with a lock symbol instead of sign-in buttons.
Subscription page redesigned, and the site footer added to it.
The free demo now uses fixed questions rather than random ones — two written questions and one load chart question.

The contact form now asks for what we actually need — first and last name, a reason, email, phone and a description.
Messages go to a proper inbox rather than e-mailed, to provide better and faster responses.

Navigation Bar visuals updated.
All Control Forms have been visually updated.
Sign-Out screen no longer plain.
Improved drop-down menu when clicking profile icon.
Buttons redesigned across the entire site.
Course tiles are shorter, with a colour-coded progress bar built into the top edge.
Students are now called "Student" rather than "Learner".
The line has been removed from the Whipline logo.
