How it works

Learn it. Practise it. Test it. See what sticks.

Four steps that feed each other. What you do in one shows up in the next, so you always know where to go.

Learn

Follow the path. Each concept is a short lesson with an animated visual and hints from Photon the owl.

A Biology HL lesson in the browser: the list of concepts on the left, and an oil-in-water diagram with a slider for the number of droplets
The Biology Water topic in the iPhone app: a line of concepts, ticks on the ones done and Photon the owl at the next one, Hydrophobic and insoluble molecules

Practise

Exam-style questions from Foundation to Stretch, marked as you answer.

A Biology HL practice question in the browser: part (a) marked 1 out of 1, with Photon the owl saying Right and a Continue button

Test me

A short topic check. Right answers tick concepts off, so you skip what you know.

A Biology topic test in the browser: the right answer ticked, the concept Hydrophobic and insoluble molecules ticked off, and a Next question button
The topic test in the iPhone app: question 1 of 6 answered right, with the concept ticked off

Questions before you start

What is Photon Learning Studio?

A guided place to learn IB concepts, check your understanding and practise. Work through short steps, ask Photon the owl for a hint, then use your results to choose what to revisit.

Which syllabus does it follow?

Photon Learning Studio follows the current IB guides for Maths AA, Maths AI, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, at HL and SL. Choose your course to see the content for your level.

Can I use it for free?

Yes. Two topics in every course are free, including their lessons, practice and stretch questions. No account or payment is needed to try them. Unlock a course for S$100 for 12 months.

Does my progress save?

Yes, when you are signed in. Use the same account as the Library to save your progress and pick up again on another device.

Which devices can I use?

Use Photon Learning Studio in your browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. A larger screen gives you more room for diagrams and working.

How is it different from the Library?

Photon Learning Studio guides you through concepts with checks, hints and practice. The Library provides notes, cheatsheets and a separate question bank for revision. They are separate purchases (each covers one course for 12 months), or you can get both for one course as the Library + Learning Studio bundle, S$350.

What does the paid plan include?

S$100 gives you 12 months of Photon Learning Studio access to one chosen course: all its topics, guided lessons, practice, stretch and analysis. Choose Maths AA, Maths AI, Physics, Chemistry or Biology at HL or SL. Each course is purchased separately.
