Here you see 2 students and examples of their answer patterns. Although both students received a 50% accuracy rate in the end, by examining their answer patterns, the software can identify that the student on the bottom row did eventually master the concept, whereas the top row student still needs tutoring with the concept.

Please Note: Your child has been assigned

courses on his/her instructional level. An appropriate length of

time has also been assigned. Please only have your child do 1 session of each subject per day. As a parent you can sit with your child and monitor but please do not help with answers; otherwise the needed tutorial will not kick

in and data collected will not show child’s true independent

level.

Data shows that in most cases, more time on Success Maker = more gain within the

program
