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 ๐ก
Strengthen is the key to improving section scores ๐
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. Weโll 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 ๐
How does Strengthening work?
Youโll see the Strengthen button at the top of the page when you go into a section.
When you click it:
๐ Youโll get a quiz made up of questions from that section that you previously answered incorrectly
โ Each time you answer one correctly, your section score will increase
๐ If you get a question wrong, itโll reappear in your Strengthen quiz until you answer it correctly. Only correct answers boost your score ๐ช
Pro tip: Getting answers right when redoing lessons is really important! Your score wonโt improve if you Strengthen and answer incorrectly, so keep going until you get them right - you only need to answer each question correctly once ๐
How do I know which sections to Strengthen?
Check your course overview. Each section has a coloured progress ring showing your progress:
๐ด๐ Red or Amber ring: Youโve started but havenโt answered all questions correctly yet. Time to Strengthen and turn it green โ just get each question right once ๐ช
๐ Broken ring: A broken ring (red, amber, or even green) means the section isnโt fully complete. You might have skipped a video or missed a quiz. Go back and finish everything for a solid ring โ
Your goal is a solid green ring for every section. That means youโve completed it, mastered the questions, and nailed the topic - setting you up for top grades ๐ฏ
How does Strengthening affect my Up Score?
Improving your section scores is key to a high overall Up Score ๐
Low section scores will pull your Up Score down, so use Strengthening to increase them!
