Automatic Progression – from green topics headings

When choosing a topic, if you select a green sub-heading you are offered the Automatic Progression mode of working. It can serve as a fast track or as revision.

It automatically moves the student through each topic in turn from under that heading every 4th game. It ensures at least one game in 4 is totally relevant to the current topic.

If several mistakes are made in a particular topic, extra practice will be given in that topic.
