This feature offers students a clear view of their progress, helping them stay motivated and focused on their goals with insightful data on every aspect of their learning journey.

This feature allows students to gain deeper insights into their test results, helping them improve their preparation on HighScores.
New “Contact Us” Page for Students

Students can now conveniently reach out to their institute directors for any queries.
New Topic Filter for Targeted Subject Practice
We’ve enhanced the Subject Practice and Self-Practice tests by adding a new topic filter, allowing students to focus on specific topics within each subject and unit. Now, both teachers and students can generate Subject practice tests for individual topics, making it easier to strengthen specific areas.
To assign Subject Practice:

This update provides a more customized and efficient practice experience!

This feature is designed to enhance learning and provide extra support as students work through course material.
New Edit History Feature for Assessment Questions
We’ve introduced an Edit History feature for each question in assessments. Now, both the question creator and the director can view the complete edit and flagged history of each question. If you created a question, you’ll be able to see when and how it was edited by your teacher, providing full transparency and control over your content.
To access the Edit History: Simply click on the Edit History in front of your created question.
This feature empowers you to monitor and track any changes to your questions for a more informed teaching experience!
Student Results for Self-Practice and Targeted Practice
Institute teachers now have access to the results of students’ self-practice and targeted practice assessments. Previously unavailable, these results are now visible in the Recently Attempted Assessments panel, enabling teachers to monitor and support student progress more effectively.
This update provides valuable insights for teachers, helping them guide students toward targeted improvement areas.
Track Questions Solved by Top Performers
We’ve added a feature that shows the number of questions solved by the best performers in the classroom. This allows students to see how much top achievers are engaging with the material, providing motivation and a benchmark to aim for.
