Hello Pan! Thanks for your time to review.
We understand that you are upset about your score dropping because you made mistakes.
In the Afficiency session, which is the last session before passing a grade, your score for the grade can go up and down depending on your overall accuracy rate of all skills of the grade.
For example, if you currently have a score of the grade of 90, you have to answer 9 questions correctly out of 10, and can only make 1 mistake in following 10 questions to maintain the current score, or else your accuracy rate will go down.
You need to remain highly focused on mastering the materials. Making mistakes and the score going down indicates weaker areas for you to improve. This is just a part of the learning process, and we advise you not to stress over it.
Your starting grade level is determined by your performance on the Diagnostic Test. If you think your starting grade was set to 4th grade by mistake, we suggest you contact your Account Manager, arrange to retake a Diagnostic Test, and adjust your starting grade. However, no matter your starting grade, it offers an immense opportunity to address your skill gaps and master the material, which will be highly beneficial to you in your academic career.”
