Frequently asked questions

No it doesn't have to be done by individual teachers for their own class. One teacher can create an assessment for all classes that are scheduled to sit it.

Research has found that students still perform better in maths when they write the answers on paper rather than use an online equation editor. This is why we have designed our platform to be printed, with space for students to complete their working. We do not have the option for online assessments.

Yes, you can choose the number of questions you would like to be calculator free and/or calculator assumed when you create your assessment.

Unfortunately we don't have the ability to allow you to add your own questions but this certainly something we are working on.

Yes, you can override the result if you disagree with the marking. You are provided the opportunity to review the marking and feedback after it has been marked by Acrux.

We have questions mapped to all Australian curriculums for mathematics, including Australian Curriculum 9.0, Victorian Curriculum 2.0, NSW Curriculum 2024, West Australian 2026, South Australian 2026, and the current UK National Curriculum.

Yes, when the assessment is created you choose the difficulty level of the questions. Some of the more complex problems have more marks allocated to them as they require more working.

Not today. Acrux is currently built for secondary maths (Years 7–12), where we're focused while we train our own models and work with our early-adopter schools.

Primary is on our longer-term roadmap — Year 6 is the natural next step, and we expect to support it once our handwriting models are robust enough for the variation we see at that level. Year 5 and below is harder: handwriting is still developing, and primary maths is taught by a single classroom teacher rather than a maths department, so the product itself would need to look different.

If you're a Year 6 teacher and interested in being part of an early conversation when we get there, drop us a line.

Teacher and staff data is retained for the duration of the account plus 12 months. Identifiable student data is retained for the duration of a student's enrolment, or as directed by the school. Anonymised analytics data is retained indefinitely for research and system improvement and cannot be linked back to any individual.

Acrux Education is currently completing the ST4S (Safer Technologies for Schools) data sovereignty assessment, with submission planned for May 2026.
