What are these symbols? A Blue Ribbon will appear next to each mastered topic. Click on the Blue Ribbon to see an Achievement Award! A Red Triangle means your student is struggling with the topic. The blocks identify a Building Block Topic. Questions designed to help your student build on their previous knowledge. Usually appear when they are struggling with a topic. A White Ribbon will appear when a Building Block Topic is mastered.

Didn’t meet the Passing Goal? After finding the correct answer, your student can view an explanation or go to the next question. After completing a test, your student may be able to re-try missed questions. Going through missed questions helps students understand the material and increases retention.
