Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 69 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers found the app and website irritating and horrible, often describing them as garbage and useless for learning or revision. People frequently encountered issues with the platform's functionality, such as problems restarting modules, skipping questions without explanation, and achievements not registering. Reviewers also criticized the learning content, noting that videos were long, unhelpful, and boring, and slides were unclear or did not relate to the questions. The system was often perceived as manipulative, marking correct answers as wrong and lacking explanations for incorrect responses, leading to frustration and a sense of wasted time. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the platform was useful for tracking progress and encouraging learning, particularly for home education. Some reviewers appreciated its ease of use, clear questions, and the ability for children to work independently, highlighting its potential as a supplementary learning tool.

Useless

Useless, especially the supposed learning path. Math is especially bad, with the learning path not even focusing on the right subject. No engagement might as well just do past papers. Diagnostic tests are horrible.

Dear Penguin,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

CENTURY is designed with learning science and neuroscience in mind. One area where you can see this is in the Recommended Path, which uses interleaved learning. This means you'll see English, maths and Science topics mixed together. Interleaved learning can help you remember what you've learned because it strengthens the connections between different subjects. If you wish to focus on one particular topic, you can filter your pathway by clicking the filter button in the top right-hand corner of your path.
Diagnostics, which you'll find in the Recommended Path are there to help you begin your CENTURY learning journey.These initial assessments allow CENTURY's AI to understand your current knowledge, highlighting your strengths and where you might need a bit more support. The platform uses the results from the diagnostics to create a personalised learning path with nugget recommendations tailored to you. This approach aims to focus your efforts where they'll be most effective, helping you use your study time efficiently. If you would like to self-direct your learning, you can also use the "My Courses" tab to choose specific subjects and topics.

Our maths content is created by experienced teachers with a deep understanding of educational standards. It is designed to align with the requirements of the most popular exam boards and is a trusted resource used by CENTURY schools around the world. Our videos use the principles of cognitive load to make sure that images and animations complement the learning concepts. The chunking of the learning into ‘nuggets’ alongside the AI also ensures that you receive the right level of challenge.

We hope this helps. If you have any further questions, do feel free to email us at help@century.tech.

Best wishes,

The CENTURY Team

Hi,

We’re sorry to hear that you’ve had a frustrating experience with CENTURY. Our goal is to support learning in an engaging and effective way, and we take all feedback seriously.

For Mock Test results, you can view not only a stanine score but also a spider diagram showing how you have performed within each topic. This is accessible via the Guardian Dashboard. As you hover over each topic, you can view the overall percentage scored. This results dashboard will also display topic recommendations based on your performance to help direct future study.

Though we do not have downloadable question-level analysis for the mock tests, we hope that our content and AI recommendations will help guide you to success.

The more you use CENTURY, the more accurately the platform tailors your learning pathway, adapting to your strengths and areas for improvement to ensure you get the most relevant support.

If you have any further concerns or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@century.tech so we can better understand your experience.

Best wishes,

Failing system that drops pupils grades

This deserves no stars but that's not an option. A teacher at my daughters school adopted this as an 'experiment'. There is only one style of learning online via videos (no adaptations for sen or different learning styles so a failing) and one style of questions multiple choice (so no differentiation for higher abilities or options to write longer answer questions as they need to for GCSE so another failing).
This failing system led to my daughter dropping over 2 grades in less than 6 weeks and failing in a subject she was previously doing well in with proper teaching rather than this pile of rubbish.
Might be good for lower ability children that would otherwise be failing but for anyone aiming to pass their GCSEs it's a waste of space.
At least we were able to move my daughter to another class with proper teaching instead of this system that is fit for the bin.

Rubbish

Rubbish. Not transparent. No transcript. Cannot review the mock test and see what answers our child got wrong. Also the mock test required your to type your answers in (for some of the questions) but the actual exam did not. Very frustrating.

Thank you for getting in touch. We really appreciate your feedback.

Mock tests mimic the experience of the actual examination, including the timed test, the range of question types and the style of exam.

Our Mock Tests are designed as generic practice for a GL test, just like the Bond books. Individual local authorities, or in some cases individual schools, have control over the exact content of their tests. As a result, the platform develops the learners’ skills rather than trying to replicate a specific test for a particular school or area.

If you have any further feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

totally dissapointing if you have change search for others

Ahhh I wish I would check the website from here before signing up as a premium online plus membership. I only have a few days to real exam. I made my plan and sat with my daughter and the system does not allow me to reach the mock test. The system says I used all my tests but only had a few... And it is impossible to find the answers to the question. You can only see the level but according to which group.. Extremely disappointing. I lost my money and more importantly, I didn't prepare any other test alternative... Of course, I emailed this but god knows when they ll reply...

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.

We apologise if the Mock Test allocation allowance wasn’t clear from the start. Guardians are given 8 mock tests per billing month to assign to their learners. This is platform functionality and your Mock Test quota is always visible to you within your Guardian Account.

Our Mock Tests are designed to best prepare your learner for their exam, including the test layout, timed aspect and question types. As a Guardian you are able to view their Stanine score and also their topics for areas for improvement.

To ensure your learner can continue to make progress once the Mock Test quota has been used, you also have access to unlimited Test Ready nuggets. These allow you to see where they are answering right and wrong in your Guardian account.

We want to make sure you’re fully supported, so please reach out directly to help@century.tech, where we will be happy to advise further.

Thank you for your feedback and please do feel free to get in touch if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best Regards,
CENTURY Tech

Dreadful

Dreadful. No room for error. Even a capital letter is marked down even if the word is spelled correctly. Dont like how it judges your emotions. Got random messages sent which the user didn't write so I am interested to know what if anyone else experienced this.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Our aim is to maintain high standards and we are thorough in our approach, even with details like capital letters. In general, the platform accepts different variations of an answer, however there are times when a capital letter is integral to the response. We want to make sure that learners are prepared for this.

Our platform encourages users to express their feelings after completing a nugget as a way to reflect on their experience. We’ve found that this can be helpful for many users as they work towards their goals. However users do not receive feedback on these as all emotions are valid during a learning journey. Nevertheless, we’re always open to hearing how we can make this feature more valuable for our users.

Regarding the message, this is not something that we have heard about before. If you'd like to share more details with us, please reach out to help@century.tech where our team would be glad to investigate this further.

We’re committed to making continuous improvements, and your feedback helps us do just that.

Best Regards,
CENTURY Tech

Dear D Bowman,

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience with Bond Online Premium Plus didn't meet your expectations.
Our platform is designed to support Common Pre-Test and grammar school entrance exam preparation. It features content from Bond and ISEB and is the only platform with endorsements from both. Our partnership with ISEB is long-lasting, and we have developed the technology for the common pre-test, which your child will ultimately use.

The Platform Includes:
- Learn content: Curriculum specialist-created videos, slides, and formative assessment questions with feedback.
- Test Practice: Practice material from Bond and ISEB, preparing for exam-style questions.
- Test-Ready Assessments: Targeted question practice to identify areas for improvement, where you can see your child’s answers.
- Mock Tests: ISEB-style test player so learners can familiarise themselves with the exam format.

With over 20,000 questions, the platform aims to provide thorough preparation.

We would like to discuss your experience further with you. Please email help@century.tech, and we will be in touch to provide support.

Sincerely,

The CENTURY Team

No answer key - waste of time

The ISEB 11+ mock exams do not show the answers after the exam, making it a completely useless way to learn. They give a ridiculous Stanine score and show a radar chart of topics that need improvement vs average scores. This is a total waste of time to prepare for an exam - don't waste your money and more importantly don't waste study time on this app.

Dear Tom,

We understand your frustration with the lack of answer keys in our ISEB 11+ mock exams. We apologise that this has hindered your learning experience.

While we don't provide question-level answer keys for mock tests, we do offer detailed feedback through:

- Stanine scores and spider diagrams: Accessible via the Guardian Dashboard, showing topic performance and how your child is performing in relation to their peers completing the Mock Test.
- Topic-specific percentage scores: Displayed when hovering over each topic in the spider diagram, and shows you topics mastered by your child, as well as areas you can focus on for improvement.
- AI-driven topic recommendations: To guide further study, show topics that support their learning gaps.
- Test-Ready Assessments: These assessments provide question-level analysis, allowing you to identify specific strengths and weaknesses before taking a mock test. Using these can help you target your study and address gaps in your knowledge.

These tools are designed to highlight areas for improvement, even without individual answer keys in the mock tests themselves.

To discuss this further and explore how we can better support your preparation, please contact us at help@century.tech.

Sincerely,
The CENTURY Team

Really should have more GSCE subjects

Look I never had a problem with Centaury Tech before, though the nuggets always say new at the bottom and they have been there for over a year (That is something the team might have to fix).

But now I'm going a few of my GSCE's and I'm disappointed to say one of my subjects (History) isn't on there. A lot of people I talked about this problem is disgusted about this.

I really hope in the next few months that History will finally be on there because I really don't want to be really unprepared for my exams and sadly Centaury, you might be a part of that.

If you add more GSCE subjects I'll promise you now that there will be more positive reviews. And you'll get more engaging users.

I'm going to put this on a lot of other sites so you will listen. Reviews should not be ignored. Thank you for your consideration.

The worst platform ever!

Our daughter’s school has subscribed to this platform and none of us use it as we found it to be most annoying and time wasting platform we ever came across. My daughter is 7 but woking at 9-10 level and century tec is still giving her questions she did in play school like count in 2s and 5s!!!!
We used other platforms in the past that are much better, if the child gets a question wrong, they will get the child to do more of the similar questions and once they get enough questions correct to progress to the next level, they will be allowed to move on. But in Century tec if you get one question wrong it takes you all the way back to counting in 2s!!! For a child who is doing fractions, decimals and algebra!!!
Then you have to spend weeks to reach to the same level you were on and if you get a question wrong again back down to counting in 2s!!!
AI is not working very intelligently in this programme! Hence all the parents have stopped using this platform and the school is now looking into better ones.

Why century is not the best

It glitches a lot and when you get a question wrong it just gives a two line explanation and the good thing about century is that it has video you can watch

Artificial Annoyance

Artificial Intelligence only used to provide me with the most annoying piece of information of the day every time I log in.
Also why won't it let me immediately redo the the end of element MCQ's? Instead I have to waste time not only clicking through all the learning elements, I then have to re-enter all the answers I have already correctly answered, just to get to the one question I got wrong. And then god forbid I get it wrong again, I have to do the whole process again. Just to get 100% on a quiz.

Why would anyone give this a 5 star review???

Century Tech is so bad it makes me want to punch a hole in my car (Century Tech stole my car and collection of Paw Patrol toys). It is literally the worst website of all time. I would rather give my credit card details to scammers than use Century Tech. Every second using it is torture.
