Built to move you up a grade

Every question is tagged by difficulty, so you can see exactly what the next grade asks of you and practise at that level.

    Get the method right, every time.

    Core revision and Foundation questions lock in the skills that stop you dropping easy marks.

    Foundation questions

  2. Merit

    Connect ideas and explain them.

    Exam-ready questions train you to show the reasoning a marker needs to see, not just the answer.

    Exam ready questions

  3. Excellence

    Justify it, even in unfamiliar contexts.

    Unfamiliar and Challenge questions plus a full timed mock push you to the depth Excellence answers need.

    Unfamiliar and Challenge questions

How a Study Vault workbook gets you there

Most students revise what they already know. Every workbook is built around one loop that points your time at the marks you're missing.

  1. Diagnose

    A short diagnostic at the front shows which skills you've got and which ones are costing you marks.

  2. Target

    Practice is grouped by skill, so every study session goes on what's actually holding your grade back.

  3. Fix

    Every question has a Question ID and QR code. Scan it to see the full working and where marks usually go.

  4. Retest

    New questions on the same skills prove the fix held. The skill tracker shows how far you've come.

  5. Mock

    Finish with a full timed mock under exam conditions, so the real thing feels familiar.

Still dropping a skill after the retest? Go back to step 2 for that skill only.

Every question has its own worked solution

Scan the QR code next to a question, or type its Question ID on our answers page. You'll see exactly how to get full marks.

  • Scan, don't flip. No answer key at the back to peek at while you work.
  • Every step shown. The full working a marker wants to see, not just the final answer.
  • Where marks go. The mistakes that cost students the grade step, taken from NZQA assessment reports.

Questions

Will this help me get Excellence?

That's what it's built for. Every workbook has questions at four difficulty levels, from Foundation up to Challenge, and every worked solution shows what markers look for at Merit and Excellence. You still have to do the work, but you'll know exactly where to spend it.

Which subjects do you cover?

Maths & Stats, English, Geography and History at Levels 1, 2 and 3. Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Economics at Levels 2 and 3. Calculus at Level 3, and Level 1 Science. Each product page lists exactly which exam standards are inside. Not sure what you need? Take the quiz.

How do I get my workbook?

You'll get a download link by email straight after checkout. It's a PDF, so you can print it or use it on a tablet.

How does 3 for $35 work?

Add any three workbooks to your cart, any subjects and levels, and you pay $35 for the three. It comes off automatically, no code needed.

What if it isn't useful?

Email us within 7 days of buying and we'll refund you in full. No hassle, no reason needed. Read the guarantee.

Where are the answers?

Every question has a Question ID and a QR code. Scan it, or type the ID on our answers page, to see the full worked solution.

Can I share it with my friends?

Each workbook is for one student. If you're a teacher or tutor, get in touch and we'll sort something out.
