Medly ai vs Uplearn vs Seneca

Heyyy i do bio chem psych for my a levels so i can help you out!!
My GCSE’s were:
I’m using medley for my a levels and its pretty good, i like how you can do lots of practice questions without having to print out the papers

hi, i am currently a y11 student revising for my gcses and have seneca premium but have been hearing a lot about medlyai and uplearn. I'm wondering whether to stick with seneca but was wondering if anyone can give their opinion on the premium versions for all of these? Ideally I would like something that can also support me for my a levels too (bio, chem, maths, psych) but happy to switch out depending on what's better when the time comes

hi! just started y12 - personally I tried all of those and didn’t like any of them! I’d say seneca > medly > uplearn, I tried uplearn for the free trial and found it very complicated. medly was ok but it’s £25 a month or something which didn’t really seem worth it as there’s lots of past papers online. and then for seneca, I’d say it’s good for a grade 7-8 but perhaps not enough there for a 9.
Obviously it depends if you’re more of a digital or physical learner (I was physical for gcse!) but I found youtube videos and textbooks best, as well as pmt notes! hopefully this helps, lmk if you’d like any individual subject help (I got 12 9s at gcse with what I’d say not too much effort)

Hi thanks for your reply, did you use MedlyAI for GCSE. Can you tell me your routine? I feel these apps make you think it can support in all areas but in reality you still need to use a combination, i.e. videos, text books and then something like MedlyAi for revision/exam questions. Would love your study routine when using MedlyAI

My school has given us uplearn for free ( I use it for alevel bio+chem) and I would not recommend unless your around a grade 4 or 5. I really do not think uplearn could help you go from an 8 to a 9. All the videos you get on uplearn you can definitely find a more consise+clear video on yt, such as cognito or mr free science

It’s pretty simple, I annotate the specification with red amber green. Green being I know the content to the point where I could get full marks on exam questions, amber being I somewhat know the content where I can partially answer exam questions, red being I have no knowledge of the content so I can’t answer exam questions.
For Amber and red I would blurt from my notes to ensure the content for that specification point is solidified in my head, then I would do some questions on medly to build my confidence, and then afterwards do some more on access tuition. Then I would do PMT questions because they’re the most useful, realistic ones taken directly from past papers.
In short:

A lot of my friends tried it too and said exactly the same thing, that it includes loads of content that isn’t even on the exam specs, which just ends up being super confusing and makes revision feel longer than it needs to be. Personally, I use medly (currently predicted 8) but I agree, YouTube teachers like Cognito and Mr Free Science are way clearer and straight to the point!
