What are flight paths?

Every day a student uses Smart Revise, it records their overall percentage progress on that day. Teachers can then see patterns for individual students and whether they are on-target.

On the new-look student course home page, students will see a simple graph of where they have come from, where they are now and where they are heading, together with a green target cone. By selecting Expand, students can see a more detailed daily breakdown and the impact of each revision session.


The light-green target cone can be customised in three ways:
  1. The date progress should begin.
  2. The minimum percentage completion by the date of the first exam.
  3. An aspirational goal.

These three factors create the target cone. Teachers can customise the values for the whole class or individual students. If a student belongs to a class, they can see their targets but cannot change them. Students that are not in a class can set their own targets.

One possibility might be to set the percentages to match minimum and aspirational grades being aimed for using the published grade boundaries from examination bodies. For example, a minimum target grade 5 might be 50% with an aspiration of a grade 7 at 70%. The default values are a minimum of 50% and aspiration of 80%.

However, be mindful that although evidence has shown there is a strong correlation between exam success and use of Smart Revise, completion and accuracy does not necessarily equate to a particular exam grade.
