Student Analysis — Learning Patterns, Not Just Scores
Batch averages diagnose nothing. Student analysis reads each student individually and surfaces the pattern behind the mark: the error they repeat, the chapter they quietly avoid, the point in a paper where their accuracy collapses. Four patterns per student are more actionable than four batch charts, because each one names a different intervention.
A score says 47%. These four say why — and each one names a different lesson.

How it works
- 01
Students work on the platform
Tests, practice sessions, solutions and verifications are all logged with what was attempted and what went wrong.
- 02
Errors get typed, not just counted
A wrong answer is classified — concept not known, method right but presentation missing, arithmetic slip, or question misread.
- 03
Recurrence becomes the signal
One arithmetic slip is noise. The same error type in four of five attempts is a pattern, and it is reported as one.
- 04
Each pattern names its intervention
A repeated concept error is a reteach. Missing working notes is a five-minute correction. Avoidance is a conversation.
Four error types, four different lessons
Wrong answers are not interchangeable, and treating them as one number is why remediation so often misses. A student who does not know the concept needs it retaught. A student whose method is right but whose working notes are missing needs five minutes, not a class. A student who misread the instruction needs exam technique. A student who skipped the question entirely may never have covered it. The mark is identical in all four cases; the remedy is not.
- Errors classified by type rather than pooled into a single score
- Recurrence tracked, so a repeated mistake separates from a one-off
- Skipped questions treated as coverage signals, not as wrong answers
- Accuracy plotted across a paper, which exposes fatigue and pacing
Avoidance is invisible in a score
The most useful signal is often an absence. A student whose consolidation practice is zero across six weeks, and who skipped it in both tests, has a problem no mark reveals — their average may look fine because they are strong elsewhere. Detecting a chapter that is being quietly worked around, while there is still calendar left, is the single highest-value thing this produces.
It makes the difficult conversation factual
Telling a student they need to work harder invites disagreement. Showing them that their accuracy runs at 78% for ninety minutes and 41% after, across every paper they have sat, does not — it is specific, it is theirs, and it points at a fixable habit rather than at their character. The same holds for a parents' meeting.
Replaces the old batch view
This page supersedes the earlier batch analytics view. Group-level trends are still available and still useful for deciding what to reteach to everyone, but they are now a summary of individual analyses rather than the primary lens — because a batch average has never told a teacher which student to talk to on Monday.

Talk to usHow is this different from the old batch analytics?
Batch analytics answered 'how is the group doing'. Student analysis answers 'what is this student doing wrong, repeatedly, and what should I do about it'. Group trends still exist, but they are derived from the individual analyses rather than replacing them.
What counts as a learning pattern?
A behaviour that recurs across attempts rather than a single result — the same error type repeating, a chapter consistently avoided, accuracy that reliably falls in the last third of a paper, or a gap between method and presentation that shows up every time.
How many students can I track?
The analysis runs per student across your batches, so class size does not change what you see per learner. The patterns are what make a large batch manageable — you are reading four flagged signals, not forty score charts.
Does this replace my own judgement about a student?
No. It surfaces evidence you would not otherwise see, particularly for quieter students who do not ask questions. What the pattern means, and what to do about it, is still a teaching decision.
