How a lesson works

Each lesson has five parts drawn from its term pool, so nobody memorises one screen of text. The pass mark is 92 per cent accuracy, higher than the touch-typing course, because a misspelled technical term is a wrong answer rather than a slow one. Lessons do not lock, so pupils revise whatever they are covering in class.
