Understanding your quiz scores on Ilm Al Lughah is key to directing your study efforts effectively. Our scoring system is designed to be transparent and informative, giving you clear insights into your strengths and areas for improvement. Here is how quiz scoring works across the platform.
Each quiz generates a percentage score based on the number of correct answers divided by the total number of questions. For example, if you answer 8 out of 10 questions correctly, your score is 80%. The platform uses the following benchmarks: 90-100% — Excellent (you have strong mastery of this material), 70-89% — Good (solid understanding with some areas to review), 50-69% — Needs Improvement (significant gaps in understanding), Below 50% — Review Required (the material needs to be studied again before proceeding).
Beyond the percentage score, the platform provides a detailed breakdown by topic and question type. You can see which specific concepts you got right and wrong, allowing you to focus your review on weak areas. For course quizzes, your score also determines the XP earned: a perfect score (100%) earns maximum XP, while lower scores earn proportionally less. This incentivizes aiming for high accuracy.
Your quiz scores are also aggregated into course-level metrics. On your dashboard, you can see your average quiz score for each course, your improvement trend over time, and how your scores compare to the course benchmarks. We recommend aiming for at least 80% on every quiz before moving to the next lesson — this ensures you have a solid foundation for upcoming material. If your score is below 70%, take time to review the lesson and retake the quiz.
