Publishing & Hosting Topical Questions Guidelines

Get Started

These guidelines apply to all Topical Revision Questions published and hosted inside the LMS. They ensure question sets are accurate, well-organised, level-appropriate, and easy for learners to practise independently.

1) Scope and purpose

Topical Revision Questions are designed to help learners practise specific topics, strengthen understanding, and prepare for assessments through structured, topic-by-topic practice. All published question sets must be educational, organised, and aligned to the stated level and syllabus where applicable.

2) Where revision questions are hosted

All Topical Revision Questions are published and hosted within the LMS, not as website posts. Access, organisation, learner visibility, and engagement are managed through LMS settings and categories.

3) Accepted subjects and levels

We accept revision question sets for:

  • Primary and Junior levels

  • Secondary levels

  • Bridging and foundation learning (where relevant)

  • Skills-based revision sets (literacy, numeracy, reasoning)

Every submission must clearly state:

  • Level/Grade/Form

  • Subject

  • Topic and sub-topics

  • Curriculum/syllabus reference (optional but recommended)

4) Required organisation and structure

Each revision set must include:

  • A clear title: Level + Subject + Topic

  • Topic and sub-topic labels

  • Numbered questions in a consistent format

  • Clear separation between sections (if multiple sub-topics)

  • Instructions where necessary (time guide, allowed tools, recommended method)

Recommended additions:

  • Difficulty indication (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced)

  • Estimated completion time

  • Short learning focus statement (what the set helps practise)

5) Question quality standards

All questions must be:

  • Accurate and free from conceptual errors

  • Clear and unambiguous

  • Appropriate for the stated level

  • Progressive in difficulty where appropriate

  • Consistent in terminology and symbols throughout the set

Avoid:

  • Repeated questions without purpose

  • Confusing wording, unclear diagrams, or missing information

  • Overly complex language that doesn’t match the level

  • Trick questions that test guessing rather than understanding

6) Supported question formats

We accept:

  • Multiple choice (MCQ)

  • Short answer questions

  • Structured questions

  • Essay/extended response (where relevant)

  • Scenario-based questions

  • Mixed-format sets (as long as they remain topic-focused)

For Mathematics and Sciences:

  • Provide clear working space guidance where needed

  • Ensure units, symbols, and diagrams are correct and readable

7) Answer keys, marking schemes, and solutions

To maximise learner value, submissions should include:

  • Answer key for MCQs and short-answer questions

  • Marking scheme for structured questions

  • Model answers for essays where applicable

Recommended:

  • Brief solution steps for problem-solving topics (Maths, Physics, Chemistry)

  • Notes on common errors (optional)

If a set is published without solutions, it must be clearly labelled as:

  • “Practice Only (No Answers Provided)”

8) Formatting and file standards

Accepted formats for upload into the LMS:

  • PDF (preferred)

  • DOC/DOCX

  • LMS-based quiz format (if supported and agreed)

Formatting requirements:

  • Clear readable font size

  • Consistent numbering and spacing

  • Properly labelled diagrams and tables

  • Clean layout suitable for mobile and desktop viewing

File naming (recommended):
Level_Subject_Topic_SetNumber
Example: Grade8_Maths_Algebra_Set1.pdf

9) Originality, copyright, and academic integrity

  • All revision questions must be original or properly licensed.

  • Do not submit copied content from textbooks, teacher guides, past papers, or paid platforms without permission.

  • If questions are adapted from public syllabus objectives, they must be rewritten and remain original in phrasing and structure.

  • Sources must be credited where necessary.

10) LMS categorisation and tagging rules

To keep resources easy to find, each set must be categorised by:

  • Level/Grade/Form

  • Subject

  • Topic/Sub-topic

  • Year/Version (where applicable)

We may also apply tags such as:

  • “Exam Prep”

  • “Topic Mastery”

  • “Timed Practice”

  • “With Answers” / “No Answers”

11) Access and visibility settings

Revision sets may be hosted as:

  • Public within the LMS

  • Members-only

  • Enrolled-only (linked to a programme/course)

  • Institution-restricted (partner-specific access)

Access settings must be agreed at submission and applied consistently.

12) Review and approval process

All revision sets are reviewed for:

  • Correct labelling (level, subject, topic)

  • Accuracy and clarity

  • Formatting and organisation

  • Presence and correctness of answer keys/marking schemes (if included)

  • Alignment with platform standards

Revisions may be requested before publishing.

13) Updates, corrections, and version control

  • Corrections and updates must be requested through the ticketing portal.

  • Major updates should be versioned (Set 1, Set 2, Revised 2026, etc.).

  • Outdated sets may be flagged for review to protect learners and ensure relevance.

14) Learner safety and appropriate content

Revision content must be:

  • Age-appropriate and respectful

  • Free from discriminatory, abusive, or explicit content

  • Safe and responsible in examples and scenarios

  • Respectful of learner privacy and wellbeing

15) Platform rights and oversight

Bertum reserves the right to:

  • Decline, unpublish, or restrict sets that violate standards

  • Edit minor formatting for consistency (without changing meaning)

  • Remove content with valid quality, academic integrity, or copyright concerns

  • Enforce platform policies to protect learners and maintain credibility
