The questions worth asking first.

No. Study Smart Academy is an independent company. We write to the SACE subject outlines because that is what you are sitting, but we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for the SACE Board of South Australia, and nothing here is an official assessment.

No, and it is not meant to. Nothing here is timed, invigilated, or reported to your school — no grade goes anywhere. It is for finding out which marks you keep dropping while there is still time to stop dropping them.

It can be wrong, and we would rather say so than pretend. When it is not sure about an answer, it hands that one to a real person to check rather than guessing at you. And if you think a mark is wrong, you can say so on the answer itself — somebody reads it, and it is how the marking gets better.

It would be a bad one. It marks answers you have written and tells you what was missing; it does not write assignments. The whole point is the feedback, and feedback on work you did not do tells you nothing about what you will do in the exam.

A few seconds. The example on the home page took 3.5 seconds from pressing submit to seeing the marks. Fast enough that you fix the answer while you still remember what you were thinking.

Yes — for maths you will want to. Photograph your working and send the photo; it is marked the same way, against the same marks, and you get the same per-mark feedback.

Your answers are yours. Your school does not see them and your teacher does not see them. One of our editors sees a single answer only when the marking was not confident and a person has to decide. The Privacy Policy in the footer says exactly what we keep, where it is kept, and what deleting your account removes.

Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics — all SACE Year 12 — opening Term 4, 2026. The subjects page has the detail, and the waitlist decides which of them we finish first.

Yes, and you can read for free without anyone’s permission. To pay for it you have to confirm a parent or guardian has agreed and give us their email address — they get the receipt and a link that cancels the subscription.

One plan, monthly, cancellable at any time, plus a free tier that needs no card. The pricing page shows the current price, taken live from the billing system rather than typed onto a page.
