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 💡
Refresh Knowledge is your personal study sidekick💥
Memory decay happens when you start to forget material you’ve already learned, but Refresh Knowledge will help you stay on top of it! It pulls together a smart quiz filled with questions from across the course that you haven’t seen in a while. It’s a simple, powerful way to spot where you need a quick boost and to tackle memory decay head-on 🙌
Where can I find Refresh Knowledge?
You can access it by clicking the ‘Refresh knowledge’ button near the top of the course page at any time to fight memory decay across all your sections 🔥
What does the number on the button mean?
The number on the Refresh Knowledge button tells you how many questions are waiting for you to get your decay down to 0%.
🪫 If it shows 5, for example, you’re just 5 correct answers away from eliminating decay - a perfect way to track exactly how much refresh practice you have left! 🤓
✨ If it shows 0, you’ve completed all available refresh questions - nice work! New ones will appear as you complete more sections of the course, so in the meantime, dive into other parts of the course 🎉
Do Refresh Knowledge quizzes affect my Up Score?
Yes, they do! ✅
Even one correct answer in Refresh Knowledge can give your Up Score for that section a lift 💪
Completing Refresh Knowledge questions is the best way to boost sections that have dipped due to memory decay - which in turns boosts your Up Score 🚀
And once your progress rings are green, regular refreshing helps keep them that way 🔄
When should I do a Refresh Knowledge quiz?
Whenever you like!
Do it at any time to keep your decay down and your section scores up, or when you notice your section scores dropping 💪
If you’re a school student, you’ll also spot Refresh Knowledge prompts in your assignments list, making it easy to keep on top of them 📚
What's the difference between Refresh Knowledge and Strengthening?
Strengthening allows you to focus on improving your score for one particular section by pulling up the answers you got incorrect.
The Refresh Knowledge quizzes will pull questions from across the course to help you fight memory decay where it is most needed 🎯
How quickly does memory decay set in?
When you first turn a section green, memory decay usually starts to kick in after about a week 🕒
But don’t worry - every time you use Refresh Knowledge to reset your score:
💪 You slow down the return of memory decay
⏳ Each reset lasts longer than the one before
In other words, the more you refresh, the slower decay dares to come back.
