Accuracy
How often the learner reaches the right answer.
OUR PROPRIETARY VECTOR SCOREA fuller picture
A fuller picture
of their thinking.
Correct answers matter. So do the difficulty of the question and the time it takes to reach an answer.
We believe the work students put in deserves to be seen. We created Vector Score to recognise progress across all three dimensions, and give them a reason to keep reaching further.

What the score recognises01
Good thinking
has more than
one dimension.
A quick answer means more when it is right. A right answer means more when the question is challenging.
We designed Vector Score around the thinking students are practising: reaching the right answer, taking on harder questions and using their time well. Every dimension matters.
Difficulty
The level of challenge they are taking on.
Time
How efficiently they reason while the clock is running.

TRAINING INTUITIONGive their intuition
Give their intuition
room to grow.
Students won’t be certain of every answer. Vector encourages them to make a choice, mark it as a guess and keep practising.
They learn which clues supported their judgement and where their reasoning went off track. The next question is another chance to apply what they noticed.
We believe judgement is worth practising, including the moments of uncertainty. Vector gives students a place to commit to an answer, learn from the result and bring that experience to the next question.

Help them see
how far they’ve come.
Take a starting measure when students join. Compare that with later sprints to see how the same group is developing.
Recognise their effort as well as their progress. Read Vector Scores alongside participation, accuracy and question difficulty, and bring that understanding into the conversations that help them keep going.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SCOREHow does
How does
that work?
Does a faster answer always score better?
No. A wrong answer earns no credit, however fast it is. Time is considered alongside accuracy and the difficulty of the question.
What happens when someone guesses?
They mark the answer as a guess before submitting it. A correct guess earns a quarter of the usual credit; a wrong guess earns none.
What if they skip a question?
A skip earns no credit. The question is still there to review afterwards, so the learner has another opportunity to work it out.
What should our team look for?
Compare the same students, in the same subject, with where they began. Then look at their accuracy and the question levels they are tackling. That tells you more than a score on its own.
How often should students practise?
Build short sprints into their week and keep the routine going across the term. Leave time to review answers as well as attempt new questions.
