Bloom’s Guide
Bloom’s levels describe how deep your learning is. Use them to aim your practice and move up step by step, instead of staying at the bottom and wondering why you are not improving.
The six levels (and what success looks like)
- Remember — You can recall key facts and terms.
- Understand — You can explain ideas clearly and spot mistakes.
- Apply — You can use the idea in problems and short cases.
- Analyse — You can compare, break down, and explain causes.
- Evaluate — You can judge quality and justify choices.
- Create — You can design or build something new.
How to move up a level
- Start at the level that matches your current goal. If you are new to a topic, begin at Remember or Understand.
- Pick one activity and try it first before asking for answers.
- Read the feedback and act on it. If you fall short, do a Retry or a New set at the same level.
- Use the Readiness Check at the bottom of the card. When you meet the pass rule, move up to the next level.
Why this works
- Targets your effort. You practise the exact skill you need for progress, not just more of the same revision.
- Builds confidence. You see success at one level before moving on.
- Stops guesswork. Each level has a simple pass rule so you know when to level up.
Common pitfalls (and fixes)
- Stuck at Remember: Add one Understand task (Explain It Simply) after your recall work.
- Skipping straight to Apply: Do a quick Remember or Understand task first to refresh key terms.
- Too many answers, not enough attempts: Always write your attempt before revealing the key.
- Language only in your home language: If your exam is in English, use English or Bilingual scaffold so you build exam vocabulary.
Language options
Choose the mode that fits:
- English (UK) — best for UK exams.
- Bilingual scaffold — answer in your language but keep key terms in English; a short glossary helps you learn the words you need.
- Full other language — for self-study if you are not taking a UK exam.
Next step
Go back to the Home page, pick your Course → Section → Topic, and choose a level to start. Aim to meet the pass rule, then move up.
