Accessibility

Fixed in the August 2026 pass

• Answer options say which one you picked. They used to be plain buttons with no selected state at all, so a screen reader gave no way to tell.
• Single-choice options behave like a real radio group: arrow keys move between them, and the group is one tab stop.
• Right and wrong answers are announced. The verdict used to be colour and a tick glyph only.
• The multiple-choice options no longer contain a second checkbox control inside the option button, which was invalid and could toggle an answer twice from one click.
• The desktop Quizzes menu opens from the keyboard, says whether it is open, and closes with Escape. It used to open on hover only, so it could not be reached at all without a mouse.
• Both pop-up dialogs now move focus into themselves, keep Tab inside while open, hide the page behind them from assistive technology, and put focus back where it started when they close.
• There is a skip-to-content link as the first thing you reach with Tab on every page.
• The mobile menu buttons and the question-list paging arrows have names. They used to be icons with no text.
• Form fields on the answer, resources and testimonial forms have real labels instead of placeholder text.
• Colour contrast on body text, form outlines, the focus ring, difficulty labels and right/wrong status was measured and raised. Form outlines used to sit at 1.23 to 1 against the background, which is close to invisible.
• Difficulty and correct/wrong are no longer signalled by colour alone; each one carries a word or a glyph as well.
• The site honours the operating system's reduce-motion setting. There was no support for it anywhere before, alongside eleven animations that looped forever.
• Footer column headings no longer skip two heading levels on every page.
• Three places that removed the focus outline and put nothing back now show one.

Still outstanding

This is the list that matters.

• No independent accessibility audit has been done, so there is no conformance claim to any WCAG level on this page or anywhere else.
• The countdown on a timed test still announces itself every second to a screen reader, which is close to unusable for the length of a test. This is a known bug and it is being fixed.
• Granted accommodations are recorded but the clock does not read them yet, so extra time is currently applied by hand. If you have been granted extra time and the timer does not reflect it, email us and we will sort it out before you sit the test.
• Most pages still have no id on their main region. The skip link finds the main region anyway, so the link works, but the underlying markup is not fixed everywhere.
• Around two thirds of form inputs across the whole site still lack an associated label. The candidate-facing ones were done first; admin and internal screens were not.
• There are still hardcoded bright colour utilities in places that were not part of this pass, and some of them will fail contrast on a light background.
• The code editor and syntax highlighting components have not been checked with a screen reader at all.
• No testing has been done with actual assistive technology by an actual user of it. Everything above was verified with keyboard navigation, the accessibility tree and measured contrast ratios, which finds real bugs and misses different ones.

Assistive technology is not suspicious behaviour
