Every session starts with an Automaticity Warm-up . Trying to beat your high score here actually helps increase your processing speed, making the main activities go faster.

The biggest "hack" happens before you even start. The initial test determines your starting level by assessing word recognition and comprehension.

If a student rushes or guesses, they may be placed in a level that is too easy (wasting time) or too hard (leading to frustration).

This means you have made several errors and the program is about to "branch" you into Instructional Mode .
