Some students might still see green progress bars on their course for now. All students will have access to the new section scores and updated platform features by 1 September ๐Ÿ’ก

Strengthen is the key to improving section scores ๐Ÿ”‘

Your section score shows how much of a topic you've truly mastered, and the Strengthen button is your fastest route to turn it fully green. Weโ€™ll walk you through how the Strengthen tool works, how to spot the best sections to focus on, and how upping your section scores helps boost your overall Up Score ๐ŸŒŸ

How does Strengthening work?

Youโ€™ll see the Strengthen button at the top of the page when you go into a section.

When you click it:

๐Ÿ“ Youโ€™ll get a quiz made up of questions from that section that you previously answered incorrectly

โœ… Each time you answer one correctly, your section score will increase

๐Ÿ”„ If you get a question wrong, itโ€™ll reappear in your Strengthen quiz until you answer it correctly. Only correct answers boost your score ๐Ÿ’ช

Pro tip: Getting answers right when redoing lessons is really important! Your score wonโ€™t improve if you Strengthen and answer incorrectly, so keep going until you get them right - you only need to answer each question correctly once ๐Ÿ™Œ

How do I know which sections to Strengthen?

Check your course overview. Each section has a coloured progress ring showing your progress:

๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸ  Red or Amber ring: Youโ€™ve started but havenโ€™t answered all questions correctly yet. Time to Strengthen and turn it green โ€” just get each question right once ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ’” Broken ring: A broken ring (red, amber, or even green) means the section isnโ€™t fully complete. You might have skipped a video or missed a quiz. Go back and finish everything for a solid ring โœ…

Your goal is a solid green ring for every section. That means youโ€™ve completed it, mastered the questions, and nailed the topic - setting you up for top grades ๐ŸŽฏ

How does Strengthening affect my Up Score?

Improving your section scores is key to a high overall Up Score ๐Ÿ”‘

Low section scores will pull your Up Score down, so use Strengthening to increase them!
