About Aptly
Aptly is a non-commercial study project built and run by Joao Perracini. It helps you practise IB Economics answers and shows you what to work on next. It is free, there is no paid version, and it is not a company.
Using Aptly means these terms apply to you. If you do not agree with them, please do not create an account.
How old you need to be
You need to be at least 13 to use Aptly. If you are under 18, you should have permission from a parent, guardian or teacher.
Aptly is a practice tool, not an examiner
This is the most important thing on this page, so it is stated plainly:
- Aptly's marks are practice estimates. They are not official IB grades.
- They are not predictions of what you will get in a real exam.
- Aptly is not a substitute for your teacher, your examiner or your official course materials — use it alongside them.
- Aptly cannot and does not promise any particular grade or academic outcome.
AI writes the feedback
Aptly's feedback, marks and generated practice questions are produced by AI. AI makes mistakes: a mark can be too high or too low, and feedback can miss something or get something wrong.
Questions Aptly generates are original Aptly practice. They are not real IB exam questions and are not taken from official IB papers.
Your account
Use your own account, and keep access to it private — anyone with your sign-in link can reach your work. Do not try to get into anyone else's account or data.
Your work
What you write stays yours. Aptly does not claim ownership of your answers. Aptly only uses your work to run the service for you: to grade it, produce feedback, save your history, and suggest what to practise next. The Privacy Notice explains exactly what that involves.
Two things to avoid uploading:
- Other people's personal information — you do not need it for an Economics answer, and it is best kept out of Aptly.
- Material you do not have the right to use, such as copies of real exam papers or markschemes.
Fair use
Aptly pays for every AI request, so reasonable daily limits apply to grading, practice generation, scanning and diagram review. They are set to be generous for normal study and may change.
Things not to do
- Do not try to get around usage limits or security.
- Do not try to access another person's account or data.
- Do not deliberately submit harmful or malicious content.
- Do not try to extract Aptly's internal grading instructions.
- Do not use Aptly for anything unlawful.
Aptly may restrict or remove an account that is being seriously misused, or that puts the service or other students at risk.
Aptly will change, and sometimes break
Aptly is actively being built. Features can change or be removed, and the service may be unavailable at times — planned or not. There is no uptime promise.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time from Your data. That removes your account and the work, feedback and practice history saved with it, and cannot be undone.
What Aptly is responsible for
Aptly is a free study aid provided as it is. Because AI can make mistakes, you should not rely on its marks or feedback as if they were official. Aptly is not responsible for academic results, revision decisions you make based on its feedback, or work lost through a service problem.
Nothing here takes away rights you have under UK law that cannot be signed away, and this section is not an attempt to do so.
