In their own words
BBC Bitesize
BBC Bitesize is a free learning resource for primary, secondary and post-16 students, with curriculum-linked study materials, careers advice and support for formal education. Its GCSE and Scottish revision collections include quizzes, study guides and content based on past papers. The web resource and mobile app cover Android and iOS; the app includes flashcards, quizzes, videos and revision guides for GCSE, TGAU, Scottish Nationals and Highers. A personalised learning tool builds and adjusts a study plan from quiz results, while tracking topic progress and weekly counts of questions answered and lessons completed. That tool is currently limited to GCSE AQA physics and requires a free BBC account. Questions are generated using AI tools and educational experts, then checked by subject experts. Learner activity and answers are used for personalisation, not marketing or behaviour change; personalisation is off by default for accounts belonging to under-13s. The Free plan costs nothing; no subscription or payment is required.
