GOAL Functionality


GOAL Score is a measurement of how prepared you are to pass your exam that suits any study approach. GOAL Score quantifies your exam readiness by measuring both your performance and the consistency of your performance. Your GOAL Score also analyzes your strengths and weaknesses by category, topic, and level of difficulty.


All students start with a GOAL Score of 20 for each topic and difficulty level. This number changes as you answer problems either correctly or incorrectly. As you use GOAL, a mean is calculated for each category, topic and level of difficulty. Simulated Exams influence your score more than Practice Sessions or Quizzes.
