How The BattleActs Scoring System Works

  • BRQ score out of 10. This score gives you an objective measure of how well you know the material. Note that your score tends to drop for each day you don't attempt a BattleCard. This is to simulate the fading of memory over time. By exam day, try to get your score around 9 for the higher ranked readings and around 8 for lower ranked readings.
  • A lapse statistic which represents the number of days since you last attempted a particular BattleCard.
  • You can use these features to decide what to review based on your quiz scores and the average days lapse.
  • Note that some BattleCards are actually old exam questions. Anywhere you see E, you can click to see the indicated exam question and examiner's report answer, just for that question.
  • You can see an overview of your quizzes across all articles here https://www.battleacts6us.ca/BattlePlan_CombatTraining.php
