Step 2 of 3 · All done

Here's what we found

Grade 8 · Mathematics · Algebra. We checked 7 ideas and scored each one on its own.

Overall understanding

Your basics are solid. Two topics are holding you back.

We looked at every answer one idea at a time. Three came out strong, two need practice, and two are real gaps.

The breakdown

Strong, shaky, and missing

Every idea gets its own score, so nothing hides behind an average.

Strong areas

3 concepts · average 89%

  • Variables92%
  • Basic equations88%
  • Number operations87%

Keep these warm with occasional mixed revision. No extra study needed.

Needs practice

2 concepts · average 58%

  • Algebraic expressions61%
  • Multi-step equations55%

The method is there, but it isn't reliable once a question runs to more than one step.

Knowledge gaps

2 concepts · average 30%

  • Factorization34%
  • Algebraic word problems26%

These need re-teaching before more practice will help. Start here.

What the analysis suggests

You understand the fundamentals of algebra but need more practice with factorization and applying algebraic concepts to word problems.

Good news: only 2 of 7 concepts need real work. That is one short session, not a whole chapter.

How these topics connect

Each arrow points to the topic built on top of it. Both gaps sit just above something you already know, so they're well within reach.

Why we think that

What your answers showed on the two gaps.

  • Factorization · 34%
    Common factors were spotted, but expressions of the form x² + bx + c were left unfactored. The rule is recognised, not yet applied.
  • Algebraic word problems · 26%
    Equations were solved correctly once written down. The difficulty is turning the sentence into the equation in the first place.
  • Multi-step equations · 55%
    One-step questions were all correct; errors appear when two operations have to be undone in order.

Factorization

Highest-priority gap in this chapter. Review the basic rules, then work through simple examples before anything else.
