Points limits and capping
Students earn points for every exercise they complete on thisisschool.com. Find out how many points are awarded for different exercises here.
There is a limit on the number of points that students can earn on each of the exercises on thisisschool.com; we introduced these caps to keep students motivated and engaged.
For example, a Comprehension exercise made up of 6 questions has a maximum of 12 points available for students to earn.
If a student completes this exercise and gets 5 answers right, they’ll earn 10 points.
If they have another go, they will only get the points that represent the difference between the scores, so if they get 6 out of 6 this time, they’ll get 2 points.
Once they have achieved the maximum score, students can continue to complete the same exercise but they will not earn any more points to encourage them to move on to new exercises!
Whether a student receives points for an exercise or not, their scores will always be recorded. You can see this in their activity log:
