This tracker lets you log results from your own practice tasks and see what they honestly show. It only compares results that are like for like, and it tells you plainly when a comparison is not fair.
What does the tracker do?
For each result you record:
- Date and task name,
- task difficulty: easier, standard or harder,
- conditions: timed, untimed or open notes,
- score and the maximum marks,
- an optional skill shown, and whether you did it without help or hints.
Results are grouped by task name, difficulty and conditions. Within a group, it reports the movement from the first result to the latest in percentage points. Results from different groups are shown separately and are never merged into one trend.
How do I use it?
- Use the three example results to see how it reads, or Reset to example at any time.
- Add each new result with its date, task name, difficulty, conditions, score and maximum. The score must be from 0 up to the maximum.
- Keep the task name consistent when you repeat the same kind of test, so the tracker can group the results.
- Tick “I did this without help or hints” only when that is true, and name the skill.
- Read the result, then download it as text if you want to show it to a teacher.
How do I read the result?
For a comparable set with two or more results, you see a line like “55% to 70% (15 percentage points) across 2 results”, with a note on whether it is up, down or flat. With only a few results, the tracker adds that this is a sign, not proof. With one result, it says no trend can be shown yet.
If your results come from different tasks, difficulty or conditions, a notice explains that they are shown separately. A higher score on an easier task is not evidence of a better grade.
The last section lists skills you demonstrated independently. If none are recorded, it says so.
Example walk-through
The example data has three results.
| Date | Task | Difficulty | Conditions | Score | Percent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 March | Algebra test | Standard | Timed | 11/20 | 55% |
| 1 April | Algebra test | Standard | Timed | 14/20 | 70% |
| 10 April | Algebra quick check | Easier | Untimed | 9/10 | 90% |
The two “Algebra test” results are a comparable set: same name, same difficulty, same conditions. The tracker reports 55% to 70%, a rise of 15 percentage points across 2 results, with the reminder that two results are a small sample.
The 90% on the quick check is not added to that trend. It is an easier, untimed task, so it sits in its own set and the mixed-results notice appears. The skills list shows “Solving linear equations” and “Substitution”, because those two were done independently. “Expanding brackets” is not listed, because that result was not marked independent.
The honest reading is: timed standard algebra moved up, and independent work is showing in two skills. It is not a claim about a grade.
Assumptions and limits
- Only the tasks you log are reflected. The tracker cannot know how hard a task really was, so you choose the difficulty honestly.
- A trend from two or three results is a hint to follow up, not proof.
- It does not predict any exam grade and does not produce school reports.
- Your data stays in your browser on this device.
