Exercise points

Exercise points

Jigsaw

        Students earn 1 Peanut for every correct answer they give.
        On the Jigsaw exercise, students will earn Peanuts the first 3 times that they play. After this they can continue to play but will not be able to earn any Peanuts, to encourage them to try a new exercise. This will be reset after two days.


Comprehension


        Students earn 2 Peanuts for every correct answer they give.


Video Vocab


        Students earn 2 Peanuts for every correct answer they give.


Vocab Section


        Students earn 2 Peanuts for every correct answer they give.


Gap-fill


        Students earn 2 Peanuts for every correct answer they give.


Nutty Tilez


        Students earn 1 Peanut for every correct answer they give when competing.
        Students can earn a maximum of 200 Peanuts per level in Nutty Tilez. Once they have reached this limit they can continue to play but will not earn any Peanuts. They should choose the Level Up option to move on to the next level as they have clearly mastered all the words!


Grammar


        Students earn 25 Peanuts for completing the grammar training on any topic.
        After doing the training, students can Test Out, where they earn 2 Peanuts for every correct answer.

NotesWhen you set a grammar task for your students, they have to Test Out in order to complete the exercise!

Points limits and capping

        Students will no longer earn Peanuts from an exercise once they have achieved full marks, to encourage them to move on to a new one.
        If a student repeats an exercise and gets a better mark than previously, they will only get the Peanuts that represent the difference between the scores.
e.g. if a student gets 8 out of 10 comprehension questions correct the first time, they will receive 16 Peanuts. If they then repeat the exercise and get 10 out of 10 they will get 4 more Peanuts.
        Once they have achieved the maximum score, students can continue to complete the same exercise but they will not earn any more Peanuts to encourage them to move on to new exercises.
