What is KwizIQ?
KwizIQ is an intelligent language system that adapts to your needs as a student by learning what you know, what you don't know and what you've mislearned.
It can analyse how you're doing and make recommendations to help you with your study, as well as provide lots of fun tools to help you practise.
KwizIQ's Features
Everything you do in KwizIQ helps the system to learn more about your language level. Every time you take a Kwiz, the system keeps careful track of your performance so that it can work out how to help you next.
Kwizzes
A kwiz isn't like a normal quiz - you can take a kwiz many times and the questions will be different each time so you can use it to help you learn grammar, reading, writing and listening skills. If you don't know an answer, don't guess - just leave the answer blank so that KwizIQ knows you don't know.
KwizIQ Scoring
KwizIQ tracks your knowledge of reading, writing, listening and (soon) speaking skills. KwizIQ scores are measures of how confident the system is that you know something in one or more of these skills. The score ranges from -100% (meaning it thinks you've mislearned something) through 0% (you don't know) all the way to 100% (you definitely know this). The scoring algorithm is pretty sophisticated.
Note: A good score is anything above 50%. When scores are aggregated over a theme, a level or the entire language, you will see two scores: the "test coverage" and your score. The test coverage tells you how much of that theme or level you have actually tested or played against. You should aim to get this up to 100% as quickly as possible. Your KwizIQ score can never exceed your test coverage.
KwizIQ Charts and Graphs
Improvement Timeline
This displays your score for a whole level as a timeline so you can actively see how you're improving.
Treemap Chart
This displays a "heatmap" showing how you're doing across the entire level in a single glance. Red areas are where you're making mistakes, and green is where you're doing well.
Brainmap
This interactive image provides a colorful overview of all of KwizIQ's study topics divided into grammatical areas within each CEFR level.
KwizIQ Notebooks
You can add items to your Notebook that you are interested in focussing on - just look for the add symbol. And of course, you can remove them at any time. If you construct your own Studylist, you can take kwizzes just on those topics.
