The page content lines up with the header on every page, and the introduction under each title runs the full width of the page.

On the Contact page, the email address and the privacy note sit side by side.

Practical exam preparation for Paper 2: two timed practice papers (Seaview Animal Rescue and Lakeside Music School), each with two 90-minute sections of exam-style tasks in graphics, databases, web pages, presentations, spreadsheets and word processing. Every task has starter files, a mark scheme to tick and a model solution.
Topic progress cards on the Topics, Theory, Practical and My progress pages: % complete, learning units done and still to go, questions answered and the subtopics to revisit.
A bigger Continue revising panel at the top of the home page, with your overall progress.
31 new scenario questions, including 19 “choose and justify” questions, where you pick the best option for a situation and explain why.
Challenges with feedback for the database query, validation and chart tools, each linked to an exam-style question, its model answer and a timed practical task.
Written answers: the marks are shown before you write, a word counter, Try again after the feedback, a guide to marking points and developed explanations, and an example answer that gets part marks for each extended question.
Display settings: text size, high contrast, reduced motion and stronger keyboard focus (in Help, and the button at the bottom of every page).
A page for teachers on using ICT Revise in lessons and for homework, and this What’s new page.

The 30-mark Paper 2 practice paper is now called Paper 2: Theory knowledge check. It is a written check of the theory, not a mock of the real Paper 2 (a 3-hour practical exam).
The header now says “Revision for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE ICT (4IT1)”.
The copyright information is clearer and has its own link at the bottom of every page, with a way to report a copyright concern.
