Guides in AI and digital study tools

AI tools are now part of how many students revise and do homework, but the rules around them are genuinely confusing: what counts as legitimate help for revision can count as malpractice in assessed work, and the boundary is not always where you would expect. This section is for GCSE and A-level students, and their parents, who want straight answers rather than either panic or hype. The coursework guide explains what exam-board rules actually say about AI in non-exam assessments and homework, including what you must declare and where the malpractice line sits. The homework and revision guide covers the everyday question of using AI to explain topics, generate practice questions or check working without crossing into cheating, and why copying an AI answer usually shortcuts the learning the task was designed to produce. The maths solver guide looks at step-by-step solver apps specifically: when seeing a worked solution genuinely helps, and when it quietly replaces the practice you need for the exam hall, where no app is available. Each guide is based on published exam-board and JCQ positions rather than opinion, and the same test runs through all of them: does the tool help you understand, or just help you finish?
