The WorksheetCloud Leaderboard uses friendly competition to motivate learners to study. Learners earn Knowledge Points by answering practice questions and see where they rank alongside the three learners above and below them, who are at a similar academic level. The Leaderboard resets every school term, giving learners a fresh chance to climb.
WorksheetCloud Reports help parents track their child’s studying through levels, Knowledge Points, questions answered, total time learning, a Needs To Improve section showing the weakest subject and a subjects graph of average marks. Averages settle after several weeks, so aim for at least 10 rounds of practice questions per subject before judging strengths and weaknesses.
