Unnecessary updates and specificity
In itself, UpLearn does seem to sometimes work well and depending on the topic is a really useful learning resource. The idea is great and there’s good foundations. However, it’s so annoying there’s a few flaws in the foundations meaning the system can often be irritating and sometimes even display incorrect information.
Often, the questions can be very specific beyond the specification meaning you constantly need to be on the ball for the entire duration, which realistically is impossible. Sections are longer than they need to be and information isn’t always bundled correctly. Questions can also sometimes be either over specific or under specific meaning they are often beyond the specification or what you’d be asked to do in the exam, or not very representative. For example, using synonyms included in the exam mark scheme as acceptable are not allowed. The ‘Report a problem’ button sometimes works but the responses are often lacklustre as no extra information is provided.
However, the recent update has meant my progress has been essentially eliminated as the new % scoring system is erratic and doesn’t improve the score properly, meaning you’d have to spend hours to complete the course. It was an unnecessary upgrade and poorly executed, making my work over the past year gone.
Moreover, for Psychology, UpLearn misses out on half the topics you need and just send you elsewhere, meaning it can’t be fully relied upon and is disappointing for the price you pay. Despite them gradually adding more, the Biology course is also half empty and only contains flash card style quizzes for some topics which you can easily access for free elsewhere.
Finally, there’s issues with the accuracy of information, with lots of answers being wrong and simply not being corrected upon reporting an error. It’s even left some teachers confused how they can get some so wrong.
It’s not terrible - but there’s plenty to improve on. It’s terrible value for the platform at the moment though.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback 🙏 We’re delighted to hear that you’ve found Up Learn helpful in your studies.
Our courses are carefully structured to group topics in a way that best supports learning, and our Content team designs questions to reflect the full range of difficulty and styles in the specification.
If you ever come across a question or piece of content that feels unclear or inaccurate, we’d be very grateful if you could let us know by emailing team@uplearn.co.uk - please do also send along those examples you have mentioned here. This will allow us to review it and make any necessary improvements 🔍 You can also use the ‘Report a problem’ button within the course so we can continue refining your learning experience.
Our tutors are always on hand to help - you can start a live chat with them at any time if you’d like further explanation or context on a question. They’ll be happy to walk you through it step-by-step.
We’ve recently updated our score percentages to make it easier to see how many questions you’ve answered correctly and to help you improve through Strengthening. This feature focuses on the questions you answered incorrectly so you can target your revision effectively. If your progress hasn’t updated as expected, please reach out via live chat so we can look into this for you.
Regarding course coverage, our Psychology course offers a variety of Paper 3 optional topics, but we let our students and schools before they start that we do not provide full content for every optional topic. You can read some more about that in the ‘What does the A level Psychology course cover?’ article in our help centre.
Our Biology course is designed to complement your school learning, with in-depth video lessons for the topics where full explanations are most valuable, and the rest covered through summaries and exam practice questions. If you’re still unsure about any points after going through the content, our tutors can clarify them for you.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. It’s really important in helping us continue to improve the experience for all our learners.
Best wishes,
The Up Learn Team

Great tool but guarantee is not upheld
I used this course to help me improve in Economics and it was a great course. The only thing is that their 'A/A*' guarantee is not upheld. Uplearn states that if you don't get an A or A* then they will refund you. Not true. Like anything with a money-back guarantee, you will never get your money back. I did all of the lessons (several times) and did all of the exams and tests (which never save honestly and would lag and cut out). I ended up with a B in Economics and contacted Uplearn to be told that I had not completed the course even though I had. Apparently the problem was that I had not completed all the written tests - Untrue. Their system is so laggy and it is honestly probably built to cut out enough times that you give up with rewriting the same answer ten times so that they can say that the course was not completed, rendering you unable to receive a refund. It was a great course but if you're expecting to get your money back if you get anything below an A, you're kidding yourself.

Hi Lois,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really glad to hear that you found the Economics course helpful during your A Levels in 2021 🙌
Our A*/A Guarantee applies when students complete the full course, by reaching a 90% Up Score and completing exam paper practice to demonstrate their exam readiness. I’m afraid that final step wasn’t completed, which meant we were not able to process a refund.
That said, our guarantee is a promise we take very seriously, and we continue to refund every student each year who meets the criteria and doesn’t achieve an A or A*.
We didn’t receive any reports of technical issues from you at the time, but if you’d be happy to share more details with us, we’d really like to understand exactly what happened. Please reach out to team@uplearn.co.uk 🙏
As your experience was back in 2021, we want to let you know that since then, we’ve made many improvements to the platform, all inspired by feedback from students like you.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us and hope that life has been going really well since your time with Up Learn. If there’s anything we can do to continue to support you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Best wishes,

I'm a maths teacher in a secondary school - my school/Trust has purchased Uplearn for our A level Maths students - 'bold prediction' but this is the future of education - certainly for the motivated self learners - this site is incredible - the videos are made with purpose - explanations are clear and the progress feedback tool is amazing - we use a lot of online maths tools (SPXXXX maths et al) this is BY FAR the best - ask your teachers to get them to subscribe on your behalf!!

How Up Learn Was a Hero to Me
Up Learn was a huge motivation to help me do well on my A Levels. I like how, on the multi-select questions, it can still mean that there is one correct answer. It helps me think more before answering those questions, rather than assuming that there are at least two correct answers. Plus, I like how there are questions in the middle of the video. It gets me involved. The fact that there are no ads makes it useful. The "strengthen" section is excellent. The only conern is that I found it time-consuming to do the subsections, but the earlier I start, the better. The subsection diagnostic quizzes certainly help speed me up. I refused to speed the video up because it reduces my learning ability. I love Up Learn. It is the best website I've used in my life. In fact, it is my favourite website. I cannot wait until it is available for GCSE students. It is better than Educake or Seneca, in my opinion. Even though I haven't managed to reach 90% on either of my three subjects, I still think I did extremely well. I would like it if I have the opportunity to work in the Up Learn team to apply my IT skills. Thanks to the staff at Woodkirk Academy who paid for my membership. Thank you for reading!

SCAM - doesn't cover all the content
If you do A-Level Biology don't trust the content! I bought Up Learn and it didn't go into the necessary depth required for the exam! Both secondary succession and knowing how to do statistical tests were assessed! I know I've lost 10 marks due to these questions. Don't believe those adverts!

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Our Biology course is designed to complement your school studies - helping to reinforce classroom learning and support optimal revision. Our ‘What’s in the A Level Biology Course’ Help Centre article and the ‘Introduction to the Biology course’ video explain how to use the course most effectively.
The course follows the specification closely, and we regularly review and update the course in line with new developments. Secondary succession isn’t included in the specification, which is why it isn’t covered in depth in the course. However, our content team is reviewing this in light of recent exam papers to see if any changes are needed.
While we couldn’t locate an account matching your review, we are very sorry to hear that you found a number of marks connected to this topic, and we’d really value the chance to better understand your experience. Please reach out via our live chat or at team@uplearn.co.uk 🙏
Thanks again for your feedback - we’re committed to supporting students, and we’re here if you need us.

Extraordinary surprised in how hard topics are explained with such ease
This is so unique in teaching which helps me so much and explained all the hard topics with ease .I am studying maths and biology and chemistry with aspirations to become a GP and was unsure if I could make it due my illness and circumstances. Uplearn granted me a scholarship which I am forever grateful for and within a month I been learning more content more effectively and getting much better grade in monthly exams. I would highly recommend this to a friend.

Great for most subjects. could improve for maths.
Ingenious app no doubt about it. small suggestion for the maths courses - in the section quizzes, it would be better if incorrect answers always showed the correct solutions and have more elaborate explanations - Hegarty maths does this really well, for instance, think Uplearn still has a bit of tweaking to do for maths. All in all absolute great website, would be great if Further Maths A level was also offered!

Hi Amna,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words - we're really glad to hear you're enjoying Up Learn overall!
We really appreciate your feedback on the section quizzes. Once you've completed a section quiz, going through the related videos and quizzes should give you the explanations you need to fully grasp the topic. That said, we totally agree - clear solutions and detailed explanations are essential for a solid understanding so if you ever need a bit more support or a walkthrough, our tutors are just a message away via the chat. You can also give us your feedback on those questions directly there 👌
And it’s amazing to hear you’d like to see another course on Up Learn! We’ve passed your request on to the team 🤩
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for being part of Up Learn 😊

Worth the investment!
HIGHLY recommend for people that aren't 'naturally smart' and need more time and help to understand some of the harder concepts. I have their bio, chem and maths course and I really wish I had utilised this resource earlier. I didn't really use the Maths one as I find maths easier to understand & also quicker from just watching youtube videos however, if there is a hard topic eg normal distribution curve, I always find myself going to Uplearn and I was surprised to find myself understanding everything! Also for chemistry, I used it to understand acids and bases and I was surprised to see myself being able to answer nearly all of the AQA exam qs. It genuinely is really good, especially if you don't have a teacher to teach/ explain difficult concepts! However, I do wish the their course was a tad bit cheaper, especially the monthly packages (as someone who doesn't really use the chat function and only want to access the content/ vids) as I do plan on getting a course again for next year. Overall, this website is a game changer for people that dont want to spend heaps on tutoring, but also want to get the highest grades possible x

Hi!
Thank you so much for your super thoughtful review (and we love the title - we’re guessing it was meant to say worth the investment 😄)!
It’s amazing to hear how Up Learn has helped you tackle the trickier topics and even answer exam questions with confidence - and that it’s become your go-to when you need a deeper explanation. We're so glad Up Learn has been a reliable and effective support system for independent study - that’s exactly what it’s designed for 💪 While tutors are here if you get stuck, the goal is to give you everything you need to succeed on your own.
And thank you for saying this is “a game changer" - we couldn’t have put it better ourselves! We’re really grateful you recognise the value Up Learn offers and are so pleased it’s been worth the investment for you.
Wishing you the very best with your studies and we look forward to having you back next year 💛

Also, the tutors are quick to help. The only downside is that the tutors refuse to help on any question thats not on up learn even if its from the same topic. Overall 9/10
