The Focus step is where you tell the tutor what the session is for. It is optional: you can continue with nothing picked, and the tutor works from the student's history. A few picks help them plan.
Two shortcuts
- Let Testy suggest ticks areas from the student's recent work and Testy says in one line why. Anything you already ticked stays.
- Let the tutor decide folds the pickers away so the tutor chooses on the day. You can still leave a note.
Specialist track (OC and Selective)
Four sections, each showing how many things you have picked:
- Review a test: recent marked tests, each with the categories it went worst in. Show older lists earlier ones.
- Learn or revise skills: LearningHub skills grouped by subject, searchable, with suggested ones first.
- Question-type strategies: real test question categories with the student's accuracy, weakest first.
- Note for the tutor: a short free-text note.
General track
Curriculum skills lists skills by subject and strand, searchable, with suggestions from recent work first, and Note for the tutor.
More than one session
One plan applies to every session in the booking, and the step says so. Choose Customise each session to give each session its own plan, starting from a copy of the shared one.
How many areas
A line under the pickers counts the areas against the booked hours. If you pick more than a tutor can cover it turns amber and says tutors will prioritise. It never blocks you.
Changing it later
On My sessions, press Edit focus on the Next up card, or on an upcoming session, change it and press Save focus. It can be edited until the session starts.
