Up and Revising in Under a Minute
We rebuilt the signup flow from scratch. Students can now go from zero to revising in a few clicks — no codes, no copy-pasting, no jumping between sites.
Watch how it works. Three steps, three videos.
The big change
We removed activation codes entirely. Students sign up with Google, pick their subjects, and they're revising. The whole thing takes under a minute.
Parents sign up separately and connect to their child by email — no codes to share, no confusion about which code goes where.
Before vs Now
Before
- Visit prepwise.uk
- Request an activation code
- Copy the code
- Go to app.prepwise.uk
- Paste the code

8 steps. Multiple handoffs. Easy to get lost.

3 steps. No codes. Under a minute.
Student Signs Up
Go to app.prepwise.uk/setup.html and tap I'm a Student, then Sign up with Google.
Pick your GCSE year, choose your subjects, and hit Save. That's it — your daily revision plan is ready. No codes, no waiting.
Student signup — under a minute
Parent Signs Up
Same page, same process. Tap I'm a Parent, then Sign up with Google.
You'll land on the parent dashboard straight away. From here you can see your child's subjects, streaks, and mastery — once you're connected.
Parent signup walkthrough
Connect Parent & Student
Either side can start the link. The parent taps Connect to Child on their dashboard, or the student taps Connect to Parent from their menu.
Enter the other person's email address. They'll see a notification next time they sign in — they accept, and you're linked. No codes to share or remember.
Privacy: Both sides have to agree. Parents see subjects, streaks, and mastery — not individual answers.
Linking parent and student accounts
Why We Changed It
The old flow had 8 steps across two websites. Parents couldn't find their code. Students typed it wrong. Some families gave up entirely. That's on us — the signup shouldn't be the hard part.
So we removed codes entirely. Alpha access is now automatic when you sign up. Family linking is done by email, not by code-sharing. It's simpler, and it works.
What Hasn't Changed
If You Already Have an Account
Nothing changes for you. Your account, progress, streaks, and family links are all exactly where you left them. Just sign in as normal.
If you want to connect a parent or child who hasn't linked yet, use the new email-based linking from your dashboard or avatar menu.
