When finished answers are marked. You will be given a % and a breakdown of targets to work on.
When you have completed a test remember to press “mark all”, this will then tell you which questions you have
got correct or incorrect.
Skills Overview (to help you review your progress)
This is the main area provided to track overall progress on every skill needed in Maths.
The success line shows how well you are doing with each strand, whilst the headings break down into separate skills.
Strengths and target areas are easily visible coded green for mastered skills and red for areas still to be covered or
improved. Links to videos are again provided to help you in topic areas.
Gap Analysis
This area is designed to be used alongside in-class assessments guided by your teachers. It will help you to analyse your
performance in tests and identify areas still to work on.
Take a Challenge
This section offers Grade specific mini tests which will help you to cover topic areas suited to your individual targets. The
app marks the test, offers guidance through videos and feeds into the skills overview and your progress tracker.
