After completing a twentyquestion diagnostic exam to determine their initial proficiency in the chapter subjectmaterial, students are presented with multiple choice practice problems of a difficultydetermined by their performance on the diagnostic exam. The difficulty of practiceproblems presented to them as they continue with their practice also adapts to match theirlevel of performance. To guide their studying, students are provided with reports thatshow performance and study time data broken into specific subject material displayed asa red, yellow or green level and
