How do I assess a student's starting level?

Use this mode to identify the starting point for each new learner quickly.

The built-in proprietary algorithm will assess student answers in real-time,

pushing them forward to more advanced skills when proficiency is met, or

dropping them down to reinforce the foundational skill when forward progress

cannot be made.


In addition to identifying the starting point, this mode can be a powerful tool to help assess student skill gaps when used with pre-and post-test activities in the Standards Edition curriculum.
