Try Strengthening to give your knowledge a workout! Each section's 'Strengthen' button will direct you to the questions and then lessons that need your attention - get answers on these questions correct to get to 9/10 bars or high/outstanding scores 🏋️
How does Strengthening work?
Strengthening is the key to fully mastering a section! Use it to quickly increase your scores on a particular section.
You’ll see the ‘Strengthen’ button at the top of the page when you go into a section🖱️ When you click ‘Strengthen’, you’ll be taken to a quiz made up of questions from throughout the section that you got incorrect previously. Answer the questions correctly, and your section score will increase!
If you answer any questions incorrectly, or still have some lessons left to complete, you’ll be taken to redo the lessons that will most benefit your learning 🧠
Pro Tip: Getting answers correct when redoing lessons is really important when Strengthening! Your section score won't improve if you Strengthen and answer questions incorrectly, so keep going until you get them correct ✅
How do I know which sections I should Strengthen?
If you’re an Up Core, Up Master, or Scholarship student, on your Course Overview page you can see that each section has progress bars 📶 If you have mastered a section then the bars will be almost full (9/10 to match your 90% target).
If you’re a school student, you’ll see your section scores - either at low, medium, high, or outstanding. You’re going for green at high or outstanding. Once you’re at green, you don’t need to keep Strengthening 🎉
The bars and section scores enable you to easily view what topics you need to work on and which ones you need to strengthen later. Getting questions right whilst strengthening topics boosts your Up Score, and moves you closer to that A* level for the exam 🌟
How does Strengthening affect my Up Score?
Improving your section scores is key to a high Up Score 🔑 Low section scores will pull your Up Score down, so use Strengthening to increase them!
