How automatic pacing works

Automatic pacing avoids treating future classroom topics as weaknesses.

  1. Beginning of year: early Grade 3 chapters, 20 questions, about 25 minutes.
  2. Middle of year: chapters taught through midyear, 24 questions, about 30 minutes.
  3. Full-year readiness: all Grade 3 chapters, 30 questions, about 40 minutes.
