Math practice · Sec 1–4 · G2 and G3
Built for the student who got 12/40.
Not the one topping the class. The one who opens the paper, sees question three, and stops. Steady finds the exact skills that broke — and rebuilds them in fifteen minutes a day. Then it tells your child to close the app and go live their life.
Free for MOE FAS households. S$19 a month otherwise. Joining the list costs nothing.
Mathematics
Weighted Assessment 2
Steady reads the marked paper, finds the skills that lost marks, and rebuilds them — one comeback at a time.
The mechanics
How it works
No magic, no mascot. Five moving parts.
-
It starts from the marked paper
Upload a photo of the WA or class test. Steady reads the marking — not “Chapter 4: weak”, but “loses the sign when there’s a minus before the bracket”. Every lost mark becomes a skill on the fix list.
-
Fifteen minutes a day, measured honestly
The queue says “about 14 minutes” because that’s what it actually takes — timed from real sessions, not invented to sound easy. Spaced repetition brings each weak skill back just before it fades. Questions are generated fresh every time, so there’s nothing to memorise and no answer keys floating around a group chat.
-
Comebacks are the score
A comeback is a skill that was wrong and is now right. That’s Steady’s headline number — not streaks, not speed, not XP. Three comebacks this week means three broken things fixed. That’s what the weekly parent report leads with.
-
The Dress Rehearsal
Before the real thing: a mock WA, sat in one go and marked out of 40, exactly the way school marks it. A rehearsal score can stand next to a real 12/40 and mean something. No “You’re 87% exam-ready!”.
-
Their own app, at their own address
Each student gets their own corner of the internet — meiling.study.darmadja.com — not an account inside someone else’s app. It installs from the browser and works offline, MRT tunnel included.
On purpose
What Steady refuses to do
A student who has been losing at math all year does not need an app where they lose too.
- ✗No leaderboards. Your child is not competing with ten thousand strangers.
- ✗No hearts, no lives, no lockouts. Wrong answers are the raw material. Comebacks are made of them.
- ✗No points for speed. Rushing is how careless mistakes get trained in. Steady never rewards fast.
- ✗No streak-shaming. Miss a day and the queue simply waits. No guilt screen, nothing dies.
- ✗No gem shop, no ads, no data sold. It costs S$19 a month. That is the whole business model.
- ✗No fake encouragement. Time estimates are measured. Scores are out of 40. Praise, when it comes, is earned.
- ✗No endless grinding. Ten questions and the day is done — the app says so and means it. More time in the app is not the goal. Passing math and getting your evenings back is.
The whole idea
The least studying that works
Singapore's answer to a failing grade is usually more — more tuition, more worksheets, more Sunday afternoons at a desk. Steady goes the other way.
A small share of skills causes most of the lost marks. Steady finds that share from your child's actual marked papers, drills exactly those skills, and brings each one back only at the moment it's about to fade. That's the whole trick: the minimum effective dose, aimed precisely, every day, briefly.
Fifteen minutes, then the app tells your child to stop. The point of passing math was never math. It was the rest of their life — CCA, friends, drawing, football, dinner with you. Steady exists to hand those hours back.
The mission
Study one, sponsor one
Steady began as an app built for one Sec 2 student who came home with 12/40 and needed a Grade 3 for poly. The students most likely to need it are the ones whose families can least afford S$300-a-month tuition. So the pricing does something about it: every paid seat funds a free seat.
If your household is on MOE FAS — gross income of S$4,000 a month or less, or S$1,000 or less per person — or a teacher or tutor refers your child, Steady is free. The full product, not a lite version. Inside the app, nobody can tell who is sponsored.

Pricing
One price. It pays for two students.
For scale: group tuition runs S$200–400 a month. Geniebook is about S$154 a month for one subject. Steady is not tuition — it is the daily practice in between — and it is priced like it.

Fair questions
Things parents ask
Is this tuition?
No. Steady is the fifteen minutes a day between school and tuition. A tutor explains; school teaches; Steady makes it stick. If your child already has a tutor, tell them about the Coach plan — Steady makes their hour worth more.
My kid hates math apps.
So does ours — that’s why Steady has no leaderboards, no hearts, no timer pressure, no cartoon guilt. Mistakes are the point: the only celebrated number is a comeback, a skill that was wrong and is now right. For a student who has been losing at math all year, this is the first math thing that keeps score in their favour.
What is “G2”?
Under Full Subject-Based Banding, secondary students take each subject at G1, G2 or G3 — G3 is the most demanding (roughly the old Express), G2 sits in the middle (roughly the old N(A)). Steady covers Sec 1–4 math at G2 and G3. More in the guide →
What is PFP, and why does everyone talk about Grade 3?
The Polytechnic Foundation Programme is a route into poly straight after Sec 4 — a one-year foundation instead of Sec 5. Entry needs an ELMAB3 of 12 or less, with both English and Math at Grade 3 or better. For many students, math is the grade that decides it. The full requirements, plainly →
We’re on FAS. Is it really free?
Yes. The full product, paid for by Standard and Coach seats. No card, no trial that quietly starts charging, no watermark. Tick the sponsored box when you sign up — or ask your child’s teacher or tutor to refer them, which also counts.
What about my child’s data? (PDPA)
Steady stores practice history and the schoolwork you upload, and uses them for exactly one thing: deciding what your child should practise next. Data is stored in Singapore. It is visible to your child, to you, and to their coach if they have one — nobody else. No ads, no selling data, ever. Want it gone? One email and we delete everything.
What device does my child need?
Any phone. Steady runs in the browser and installs to the home screen — nothing from an app store, no laptop needed. Practice works offline; progress syncs when they’re back on WiFi.
My child is in Sec 1 / Sec 3 / Sec 4, not Sec 2.
Steady covers Sec 1–4 math at G2 and G3, opening level by level — Sec 2 first, because that’s the year subject levels get decided. Join the list with your child’s level and we’ll message you when their seats open.
Steady lah.
Fifteen minutes a day. The exact skills that lost marks. A score you can trust. If your child came home with a 12, this was built for them.
