Find what’scosting you marks.Then know exactly what to work on next.
Most lost marks trace back to a few specific steps. We find them in your actual work, then aim your practice at exactly those.
Ali and Ben share some stickers in the ratio 3 : 5. Ben has 24 more stickers than Ali. How many stickers does Ali have?
[4]- 8 units = 24
- 1 unit = 3
- 3 units = 9
- Ans: 9 stickers
Not three weak topics. One step: setting up the method from the words.

The problem
You studied the whole chapter. You still lost eight marks.
Most students who lose marks have put the hours in. The hours just went to the wrong places — and nobody told them which ones.
- 01
Revising what you already know feels productive.
It’s comfortable, it goes quickly, and it changes almost nothing.
- 02
Your weak spots aren’t the same size.
Most revision plans still give every topic the same hours.
- 03
“Weak at word problems” isn’t a diagnosis.
It’s a guess. The marks are usually lost at one specific step.
You’re not short of effort. You’re short of clarity.
Stop revising what you already know.
The Pinpoint idea
Your work already knows where the marks go.
01 · Evidence
Every lesson leaves evidence.
Class work, an Exit Check, homework. Most of it gets marked, handed back and forgotten. We read it.
02 · Marks
Most of the paper is fine.
26 of 34 marks are secure. Revising those topics again would feel productive and change almost nothing.
03 · Pattern
The lost marks aren’t random.
7 of the 8 came from the same first line of working, in three different topics: setting up the method from the words. Not three weak topics — one step, showing up three times.
04 · Action
Work on that one thing.
A Precision Session: 1 hour, at most 3 students, on that single step. Not the whole chapter again.
05 · Re-check
Then look again.
The same step comes back in later lessons and Exit Checks, with new questions. Whatever happens is recorded against the same skill — so progress is something you can see, not something you hope for.

How it works today
Small classes. One named next step.
8 max
Weekly lesson
2 hours a week, in a class of at most 8. Every lesson runs the same sequence and ends in an Exit Check, so the evidence builds week by week.
3 max
Precision Sessions
1 hour on one named skill or misconception, with at most 3 students. One credit every month. Targeted, not extra.
Every lesson
Visible progress
Topic by topic: what is secure, what isn’t yet, and what happens next — written by the teacher who taught the lesson.
The materials are ours.
Every lesson has a Learning Dossier written for it: the concept, worked examples, practice, and the page where the lesson’s evidence is recorded. These are real pages.
Why Pinpoint exists
“More questions only help if you understand what the mistakes are telling you.”
You won’t find borrowed numbers or stock photos here. Come to a trial class: you’ll see how the lesson runs, what we notice in the work, and what we’d work on next.
Next step
Find out what to work on next.
Start with a free two-hour trial class — the full lesson, not a demo. We’ll tell you honestly whether Pinpoint is a fit.
