Gamification is designed to evoke a strong emotional response, enhance memory retention, and make studying more enjoyable. Our platform achieves these goals with colorful designs, in-game challenges, and social leaderboards.
The platform is structured so there's always a new goal to strive for by completing challenges with exclusive rewards. While the leaderboards let you compete against other students at your school and track your friends' activity, making it a fun way to stay accountable.
-
The bulk of your score is based on your responses to practice questions, normalizing for question difficulty.
Your accuracy on the adaptive Q-bank and custom quiz modes are directly fed into the scaled scoring model for your specific exam. While your accuracy on gamified questions (endless, blitz, timed, multiplayer) is compared with a machine learning model that contains the data of past KOTC students, including their ultimate scores and how they've interacted with the platform.
-
Once you complete the onboarding questionnaire and answer 50 questions in each subject, our platform curates educational content based on your unique profile. The homepage (images/videos) and the adaptive algorithm (questions) target your strengths and weaknesses. In this manner, our model is designed to help you overcome weaknesses, assuring score progression over time.
-
The KOTC algorithm tracks your predicted score. If the time remaining until your exam + your rate of improvement do not meet your exam goal (or at least a 50th percentile score), an automated alert system will flag.
The system explains the situation to the student and gives them an opportunity to increase alerts, incentivizing changed study habits. Moreover, institutional partners are alerted if any of their students find themselves in this scenario, and their students are offered tutoring and personalized guidance.
-
Our content is created by a team of top content creators, including 99th percentile scorers for each exam, who follow internal guidelines specifically designed to teach and test knowledge. Most of our media content is developed in-house by these experts.
Our team is responsible for all the content on our platform. They typically manage the entire creation process, but some questions from expert prep publishers or crowdsourced submissions remain on the platform because they are exceptional and benefit our students. This ensures that all questions, particularly those in the Adaptive Quiz Bank and Custom Quiz modes, adhere to a rigorous, exam-style format.
