The Placement Test assigns them to a higher grade level than appropriate, and the future questions they received in-game are frustratingly hard.

Note: Placement Tests run every September and in January, as well as when a child first logs on to Prodigy.Ī child gets help from an older sibling during the Placement Test and correctly answers questions that they would have found too difficult on their own. One important thing to remember: If a Grade Override is in place while a Placement Test is running, your child will not receive the Placement Test but will continue to work at the selected grade level. As soon as they move through this content, they’ll be placed in the selected grade. This is so they don’t encounter questions that they’re not prepared to answer. Prodigy’s algorithm uses the Placement Test to assign children questions at the appropriate grade level, where questions should be difficult enough to be challenging, but not so difficult that children get discouraged.Īvailable to all Prodigy Members, our Grade Override tool allows parents to bypass the results of the Placement Test and fix in-game questions at a specific grade level.įor example, if the Placement Test places your child in Grade 3 but you think they should be answering Grade 4 questions, you can fix your child’s grade level at Grade 4.Īfter you set a Grade Override, your child will still work through grade-level prerequisites that they’ve already encountered, but could use more practice on, before answering questions from the selected grade. When your child starts playing Prodigy, they’re not just being introduced to a world filled with unique pets, epic adventures and exciting in-game rewards - they’re also completing our Placement Test.

It analyzes the questions players answer correctly or incorrectly, and determines which future questions are just right for their skill level. What’s an algorithm, you might ask?

PlayerBackpack.Prodigy’s adaptive algorithm makes sure that children are always answering questions that keep them engaged and motivated to learn.
