Study Pattern for each Topic:
1.Preparation assignment to be done by student at home ( will take upto 1 hour per week)
2.In class:  discussion of Preparation assignment, then test on the concepts
3.In class: Main Lessons
4.In class: Test; and competitive game (4th class)
5.Home test assignment to be done at home and submitted by student (will take upto 30 mins per week)

Progress Analysis:
Each exercise i.e. Preparation exercise, In class test, Competitive game, and Post session assessment test, is analyzed on 4 dimensions most relevant to the Ongoing session. Other dimensions are noted if any peak/trough is observed.
The analysis is done by our team at backend using our methodology. The results are not shared with the student but only with parents, and analysed once after 16 sessions (approx 8 weeks). They are mapped on a chart to monitor progress. Parents can see this online. Wards can only see the exercises and analysis.
An initial test is given to assess the starting Level of the student, and then assign the section. Same age students may have different starting points (due to various reasons) but it will not matter much once one has completed level 4.
