Learners master skills · Adaptive practice
Each student’s weak topics come back until they stick.
Practice goes to each student’s weakest topics, and topics they haven’t touched come back before they’re forgotten.
Names and figures on this page are illustrative.
The proof, one student
One student, two weeks of physics
Above is where she ends up. Here is how she gets there: Ananya’s mastery, and the set of ten built for her, from her first Monday. Pick a moment.
- 01
Monday: every answer counts
Ananya starts Chapter 5. With no history yet, her set of ten follows the chapter’s own order. Each answer moves her mastery of the topics that question tests.
- 02
Monday: the gap shows
She misses three questions on Kirchhoff’s laws, and that topic drops while the rest rise. Topics roll up into the chapter, so you see the gap at the level you teach.
- 03
Next week: it comes back
She has moved on to Chapter 6, and Kirchhoff’s laws has faded to her weakest topic. Up to half of each new set goes to topics due for review, weakest first.
- 04
A week later: it sticks
She answers most of them, and Kirchhoff’s laws climbs. Those review slots move on to whatever is weakest next.
- Mastery on the topics your exams test
- Every answer, in practice or a test, moves mastery on the same topics your term exams, II PU boards and KCET test. Topics roll up into chapters, so a weak spot shows before the term exam finds it.
- Weak topics come back on their own
- Topics a student hasn’t practised fade and fall due. Review joins their practice, weakest first, before the topic is forgotten.
- Practice from what you taught
- Questions come from your own material, and every AI draft is reviewed before a student sees it.AI questions and expert review →
- A rule your teachers can explain
- No black box: the rule is simple enough for any teacher to explain why a question came up.
FAQ
Questions about adaptive practice
- Coming soon
The MASTER framework will choose each student’s next step for them. Adaptive practice is the part of it that works today.How the MASTER framework will work →
Is this an IRT or AI adaptive engine?
No. It’s a deliberately simple rule: track mastery per topic from every answer, aim practice at the weakest topics, and bring back topics that are fading. Because it’s simple, any teacher can explain why a question came up.
Do full mock tests adapt too?
No. Mock tests and formal exams keep the fixed pattern of the real paper. Adapting happens in practice, between tests.
How soon does it start adapting?
After a student has answered some questions on a topic. Before that, practice follows the topic’s question order.
Is mastery tracked for each student?
Yes, per student and per topic, rolling up to chapters. It is also what the teacher copilot’s daily review is built on.
Does it build a study plan automatically?
No. Learners can set goals and keep a learning path, but nothing generates a plan for them. Practice adapts; the plan is theirs.
Is this the MASTER framework?
Part of it. Adaptive practice is MASTER’s Train and Reinforce steps, and those work today. MASTER as a whole, which will choose each student’s next step, is coming soon.
Full specification
- Starting out
- With no history, practice follows the topic’s question order. Adapting starts once a student has answered questions.
- What moves mastery
- Every answered question linked to a topic, whether in practice or a test.
- Questions on several topics
- A question can test more than one topic; a wrong answer is shared across the topics it needs.
- Fading
- Mastery decays over time when a topic isn’t practised, and the topic becomes due for review.
- Review share
- Up to half of each set of ten goes to topics due for review, weakest first.
- Chapter view
- Topic mastery rolls up into chapters, weighted by topic.
- Sets of ten
- Each set is aimed at the student who opens it, around the topic they are practising.
- Where it runs
- In academic chapters, competitive exam topics, certification domains and skills, for institution classes and for individual learners.
- Goals
- Learners can set goals and keep a learning path, and track their progress against them.
