Purposeful usage of Achieve is effective.

Students using more of their courses’ assignments and having higher grades on those assignments, had higher exam scores. Students with higher grades on their assignments (gradebook average) could expect to be 8 points higher on exams. Students that use or engage with less than the median student in each course can expect to perform 4% to 12% lower on their exams (depending on how much less work the student did), while students that use more than the typical, perform 1.5% to 3% higher on their exams.

"I use it for classwork and homework, and all of its assessments resources. It’s excellent. The individual scores on each problem let me remediate classwork immediately during class. Its great!!!" - Frank Calhoun, AP Instructor

 

Benefits & Features

“AP classes ask a lot from teachers, and we need to focus our energy on helping students think deeply about the content, not organising that content. Achieve frees me up to think creatively by presenting the content and assessments in a comprehensible manner.” – Karl Sineath, Instructor
