1. What does MyRevision offer?

MyRevision is an online resource that enables you to generate self-assessment and revision questions on demand for each of the subjects for which you are registered (with the exception of Integrated Accounting Systems).

The self-assessment and revision questions are based on past exam questions and examples that are included in your course manual. The types of questions include multiple-choice, short computational, modified course manual examles and modified past exam questions.

When you generate a numerical question or a multiple-choice type question, you will see a new version of that question each time. As such, you have the facility to practise new questions all the time.

You can also access recent past papers on MyRevision.

5. How do I create an assessment for import to Moodle or Blackboard that will be automatically graded? (for lecturers only).

Lecturers may wish to set regular homework and/or revision assessments in Moodle.

6. Note on Tenjin use of point and comma separators

Tenjin uses a point as the decimal separator (for example 3.5 is understood to be 'three and one half').

Tenjin uses a comma to separate thousands (for example 2,500 is understood to be 'two thousand five hundred').
