How the Diagnostic Scoring Works

After completing the test, you receive a results breakdown:

• Topic Breakdown — each topic shows your score, colour-coded green (strong, 80%+), amber (moderate, 50-79%), or red (weak, below 50%).
• Strengths — topics where you scored 80% or above.
• Needs Improvement — topics where you scored below 50%.
• Recommended Study Topics — all topics where you did not score in the strong range.

The adaptive engine targets weak topics first, so your weakest areas are tested more thoroughly. Use the results to prioritise which topic pages to revise.
