What every page shows you
- The short answer first, so you know what the page says before you decide to read it.
- The date it was last updated, near the top.
- Its sources, at the foot, each with the day it was read. A fact from an exam board names the board's page it came from.
- A trademark line wherever an exam is named, saying the exam's owner is not affiliated with Tutix and does not endorse it.
Where the facts come from
Facts about an exam (its format, its dates, its units and their weights, how it is scored) are taken from the board's own course and exam pages and its syllabus documents, not from memory, forums or other sites' summaries. Where a figure changes from year to year or from school to school, the page says so and tells you to check the board's own page for your year.
Facts about Tutix come from the product. The hours, units and topics of a ready-made program are read from the program itself, and the prices and class minutes of every plan from the plans catalogue, when the page is built. When a program or a plan changes, the pages that print it change with it.
How the numbers are checked
The data tables are handled with extra care. The AP score tables on AP pass rates by exam are read from the College Board's yearly pages, and each row is checked against the exam's own page, a second page of the College Board's. Where the two disagree the row is left out and the page says so, because one of them is wrong and we cannot tell which.
Beyond that, the site's automated tests refuse a page that states a plan figure that is not the catalogue's, a link that goes nowhere, a title or description a search result would cut, structured data that differs from what the page shows, or an exam named without its trademark line. A page that fails them is not published.
What we never do
- Invent a review, a rating, a testimonial, an award or a quotation from a student or a parent.
- Claim that an exam board approves, endorses or is affiliated with Tutix.
- Promise a score. A tutor can help you prepare; no tutor can promise a result.
- Show a test date after it has passed: dates leave a page by themselves.
- Name a company in a comparison. Comparison pages describe kinds of help (a private tutor, a tutoring center, a homework chatbot) and say where the other kind is the better choice.
How the pages are written
The Tutix team prepares these pages, and we use AI tools to help research and draft them; what makes a page publishable is the checks below, not who or what typed it.
Keeping pages current
Boards publish new editions and next year's calendars on their own schedule, mostly in spring and early summer, and the pages are checked against them then. Until a page is updated, its date tells you when it was last checked, and its sources tell you where to look for anything newer.
Found a mistake?
Tell us on the contact page, with the page and the line. We check it against the source, correct the page if you are right and change its date.
Questions people ask
Who writes Tutix's guides and exam pages?
The Tutix team. We use AI tools to help research and draft them, and a page is published only when its facts match its sources and it passes the site's automated checks.
Where do the numbers on these pages come from?
Facts about an exam come from the exam board's own published pages, each listed under Sources with the day it was read. Prices, class minutes and the contents of a program come from the product itself.
How often are the pages updated?
Whenever a source or the product changes, and at least when the boards publish new editions and calendars, mostly in spring and early summer. Every page shows the date it was last updated.
Does an exam board endorse Tutix?
No. The College Board, Cambridge and the other owners of the exams named on these pages are not affiliated with Tutix and do not endorse it, and every page that names an exam says so.
What if I find an error?
Tell us on the contact page. We check the line against its source, correct the page if it is wrong and change the page's date.
