LearningHub does not put a student on a difficulty level and does not move them up or down one. There is no Easy, Medium or Hard setting anywhere in it. What adapts is which skill is suggested next and which questions come back.
Where the questions come from
Each skill has a bank of questions written to the standard of the real exam, across the same spread of difficulty the exam itself uses. Within a skill, questions are served in no particular order, and a student sees ones they have not answered before until the bank has been worked through.
What the Practise now card does
The card at the top of the LearningHub home screen is the one piece that reads the student's own history. It looks, in order, for:
- a skill that went badly on a marked mock test, labelled From your mock tests;
- comeback questions that are due;
- an unfinished skill the student has been working on recently;
- a skill they have never tried.
Whatever wins is what the button opens. It is a suggestion, never a lock: any subject and any skill can be chosen from the rail at any time.
What else responds to performance
Two things do. A Maths or Thinking question answered incorrectly is scheduled to return later as a comeback, and the Insights screen lists weak areas from mock tests and from LearningHub answers so a student can aim at them deliberately.
If you were told something different
Older pages described four difficulty levels and thresholds for moving between them. That is not how LearningHub works now. Progress is measured by mastering skills, not by climbing levels.
