Read the numbers right
How Scoring Works
You will see four different numbers in this course, and they do four different jobs. Two minutes here saves six weeks of wondering why your score wobbles.
Levels
your edge
Points
the game
Block score
today's effort
Assessments
the proof
1 · Levels: your edge
Every drill has 12 levels, and the difficulty adjusts while you play: three right in a row moves you up a level. One miss moves you down. That simple rule parks you exactly where you succeed about 8 times in 10: hard enough to train you, never hopeless. Your level is saved, so tomorrow starts at yesterday's edge, and each new week raises the floor.
2 · Points: the game
The points counter during a drill rewards every correct answer, and rewards it more when you are fast and playing at a high level. They reset every block and are never stored. Chase them: that is what they are for.
3 · Block score: today's effort
Each drill ends with a score out of 100, blended from how accurate you were, how fast you were, and how high a level you reached. Here is the part everyone gets wrong: because the difficulty adapts to you, this score is designed to hover, not climb. Getting better shows up as your LEVEL climbing, while the score stays in the same honest band.
4 · Assessments: the proof
The baseline, mid and post tests ignore all of the above. No staircase, no points: the same fixed settings for everyone, every time, so the numbers can be compared. These are the only scores on your radar, your rating, and your before-and-after chart, and Composure lives here too. Training numbers show effort. Assessment numbers show change.
So when your block score dips on a Tuesday, nothing is wrong. The machine noticed you getting better and made the work harder. Watch your levels through the weeks, and let the assessments tell the story.
