The app ties student History accounts with existing PiXL Maths credentials. Moving forward you will need just 1 account to access all PiXL apps (dependent on whether your school has access to a specific app). Staff will need to ensure that students have been uploaded to the central register and have been allocated to a History class to be able to access this app.
Also in this update we have changed how staff will interact with student information making the data we store more secure.

New topic selector. Staff can now reduce down the number of topics shown to students under "Take a test" using version 1.62 (both students and staff need this version to benefit from this feature).
Staff can also take it a step further and you can eliminate specific questions that you don't want as they are not part of the specification you are delivering to students.
Staff, go to "Class admin" and then select "Activity select".
