This article summarizes our new quiz-based game feature where questions increase in difficulty as the learner progresses through each level.
Level Up Aims to Address a Common Challenge in Exam Preparation
Studying for certification exams can be a daunting task, often leading to discouragement among learners. Research indicates that practice quizzes featuring questions that are either too easy or too hard can significantly impact a student's motivation to study. Pocket Prep understands this challenge and is proud to introduce Level Up as the solution.
Our Level Up quiz mode introduces an exciting and interactive game that allows users to test their knowledge. As users advance through the levels, the questions become progressively more challenging, providing a consistent and motivating learning experience. In order to progress to the next level, users must answer 85% of the questions correctly. This feature keeps learners engaged and continuously encourages them to enhance their understanding.
Ways to use Level Up in your program:
