SwaVid Training Ground · Chapter practice

Get it wrong. See exactly why.

One question from your child's NCERT chapter at a time. A wrong answer shows the correct one and the reason it's right, on screen until your child presses Continue — not just a tick or a cross.

Sessions resume where your child stopped. Answers are checked by SwaVid, not by the child.

Class 8 Maths · Linear EquationsQuestion 4 of 24

Ravi buys 3 pens and one notebook for ₹52. The notebook costs ₹16. What is the cost of one pen?

Not quite — the correct answer is shown above.

52 − 16 = 36 is the cost of all 3 pens together. Divide by 3 to get one pen: 36 ÷ 3 = ₹12.

Five ways to answer

Multiple choice can be guessed. So it isn't the only way.

The same chapter can also be practised by filling a blank, speaking a short answer, explaining in full, or showing every step of working.

Multiple choice is the format most used today. Typed and spoken answers are newer and still catching up in daily use.

How a session runs

One chapter, one question, in this order.

  1. 1

    Pick the chapter

    The page suggests the chapter practised last, or the one the study plan flags for today. Before a class test, pick any chapter directly.

  2. 2

    Answer, then see why

    After a wrong answer, the correct one and the stored reason appear and stay on screen until your child presses Continue.

  3. 3

    It checks the idea again

    One wrong MCQ answer is not a verdict. The next question tests the same idea again. Only a second miss sends it down to the concept underneath.

What changes for your child

A worksheet gives a tick or a cross. This gives a reason.

What you see as a parent

Which ideas are comfortable, and which are not.

  • How many questions were answered this week and in total, and how many were right.
  • Ideas your child is comfortable with, named by concept, once at least three questions on it are done.
  • Ideas that keep tripping your child up, so you know what to ask about at dinner.

What it will not do

Not a race, not a rank, not a shortcut.

  • No countdown clock and no leaderboard. Your child sees “Question 4 of 24”, not a rank against anyone.
  • It does not replace the board exam. Questions come from the NCERT bank, not from previous years' papers.
  • It does not invent questions. Every one is from a checked bank, so a session can run out once a chapter is fully practised.

Questions parents ask

Before the first session.

A session covers the chapter's question bank for the format chosen, for example 24 multiple-choice questions. Your child can stop any time and it resumes at the same question later.

Yes. The page suggests a chapter, but any chapter in the list can be picked, along with the answer format. Before a test on Force and Pressure, pick that chapter directly.

SwaVid checks them against a value-point scheme, the way a CBSE examiner marks, and shows a model answer. The typed and spoken formats are newer than multiple choice, so expect them to keep improving.

In multiple choice, one wrong answer is not treated as a gap. The next question checks the same idea again, and only a second miss on it sends your child down to the simpler idea underneath.
