How it works

Built to move you, fast

📐

Exam standard from Q1

No gentle warm-ups — every question is pitched at the real IB level.

🛟

It teaches when you slip

Get one wrong and it re-explains that exact skill, more slowly each time.

🔄

Never runs out

Questions and diagrams are generated fresh, so you can drill a skill until it sticks.

📊

Know where you stand

Mastery is tracked per topic, and the Diagnostic gives a full concept report.

The levels

Every topic goes two layers deep

Photon doesn’t just throw questions at you. Each topic is built in two layers — first the sub-skills that make it up, then the actual IB question-types it’s tested as — so you always know which part is shaky, not just that something is.

Layer 1 · Atoms

The skill ladder

Every topic is a six-rung ladder from bare recall up to the hardest HL twist. You climb one rung at a time.

L1Recall — the definition or formula
L2Single step — one clean application
L3IB standard — a real exam-level question
L4Work-back — given the answer, find the unknown
L5Unknown structure — spot which method fits
L6HL ceiling — the hardest HL twist

Adaptive. You start around IB standard. Slip on a rung and it re-teaches that exact step — a hint, then a worked example, then a guided walk-through — until it’s yours.

Layer 2 · IB question-types

The type sweep

One full IB question of every way the topic is really asked — drawn from the real past-paper bank — each marked on the IB scheme.

Step by step

From “where am I?” to “mastered”

Two tools, one loop. The Diagnostic tells you exactly what to fix; the Studio fixes it. Here’s how each one runs.

🔍
Take the DiagnosticFind your gaps · ~30–45 min
  1. Sit the adaptive screener

    A short test across every concept in your subject climbs to your ceiling and surfaces your weak topics.

  2. Deep-dive the weak topics

    On each one, you face a full IB question of every type — so it’s clear which types break, not just which topics.

  3. Snap your handwritten working

    Photograph your solution and it’s marked against the real IB mark scheme, method mark by method mark.

  4. Get your report

    A concept-by-concept, type-by-type breakdown lands with your tutor and in your inbox — with what to do next.

🎯
Train in the StudioClose your gaps · go at your pace
  1. Pick a topic

    Start with any free topic — no sign-up — or jump to the exact one your report flagged.

  2. Climb the ladder

    Exam standard from question one. Slip and it re-teaches that precise step, more slowly each time, until it sticks.

  3. Face a full IB question

    Every topic ends with a multi-part, IB-style problem — the real thing, not a warm-up.

  4. Sweep the question-types

    Meet one of every IB type in the topic and drill until each one comes back Secure.

Your report

A report that says exactly what to do next

No single mystery score. Your Diagnostic report shows the whole picture — and it’s written to be read by students and parents.

  1. 1Readiness at a glance

    How many of the topic’s IB question-types are secure, plus the mark total. One look tells you if it’s exam-ready.

  2. 2In plain English

    A jargon-free line written for parents — what’s solid, what’s left, and a realistic time to close it.

  3. 3Layer 1 · the atoms

    Every sub-skill marked secure or shaky, and exactly where on the ladder the climb stalled.

  4. 4Layer 2 · the types

    Each full IB question-type as Secure, Partial (a slip) or Gap (missing method) — a slip is never counted as a gap.

  5. 5What to drill next

    A ranked to-do list, each item linking straight to the Studio rung that closes it.

Why Photon Learn

Not just another IB revision site

The big IB revision sites have polished videos and huge question banks — and that’s genuinely useful. Here’s what they can’t do, and Photon Learn can.

 
Photon Learn

Worked examples for every topic
A big bank of practice questions
Fresh questions every time — the bank never runs out
Marks a photo of your handwritten working, like an examiner
Adaptive diagnostic that pinpoints your exact weak spots

Built by a named Singapore IB examiner
A real tutor you can book the moment you’re stuck

Most IB revision platforms hand you videos and a question bank, then leave you to it. Photon Learn is a coaching loop — diagnose → drill to mastery → re-check — built and marked by a working IB examiner.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • How much does the Photon Learn Studio cost?

    Two full topics per subject are free with no sign-up. Full access to every topic in a subject — IB Maths AA, AI or Physics, HL or SL — is a single one-time payment of SGD 250, lifetime access, no subscription.

  • Can Photon Learn mark my handwritten working?

    Yes. The Diagnostic lets you photograph your handwritten working and marks it against the real IB mark scheme, then shows a concept-by-concept report of exactly where you lost marks.

  • Is Photon Learn good for IB exam revision?

    It’s built for it — the Diagnostic pinpoints your weak topics across IB Maths and Physics, and the Learning Studio drills each one to mastery with unlimited exam-standard questions and full IB-style problems, so your revision targets exactly what you need.

  • Which topics are free?

    Two full Studio topics per subject are free with unlimited practice, and no sign-up is needed to start. Unlocking every topic in a subject is a single one-time payment of SGD 250, with no subscription.

  • What's the difference between the Learning Studio and the Diagnostic?

    The Diagnostic finds your gaps — an adaptive test that shows which concepts to revise. The Learning Studio closes them — it trains each topic to mastery with hints, worked examples and step-by-step guidance. Use the Diagnostic to know what to work on, then the Studio to work on it.

  • Which subjects and levels does Photon Learn cover?

    IB Mathematics — both Analysis & Approaches (AA) and Applications & Interpretation (AI) — and IB Physics, at Higher and Standard Level. Every subject has the same adaptive Studio and Diagnostic.

  • Who makes Photon Learn?

    Photon Learn is built by Photon Academy, an IB and Pre-IB specialist tuition centre in Singapore. Every question and worked solution is written to match the real IB standard.
