Knowledge

• Misinformation (red):

• Uncertainty (yellow):
  Student answered correctly, but was unsure.
• Mastery (green):
  Student answered correctly and confidently, indicating the question covers a concept the student has previously mastered.

Struggle

• Actionable Intervention (red): Student saw the explanation for the question more than twice and still couldn't answer confidently and correctly—indicating high struggle. (When you run the actionable intervention report for a student, these are the questions that appear.)
• Low Struggle (yellow):
  Student saw the explanation twice and didn't answer correctly. Upon the third try the student mastered the question.
• Learned It (blue) :
  Student answered incorrectly the first time the question was presented, but answered confidently and correctly after seeing the explanation. This is a measure of efficient learning that's good to see.
• Knew It (grey):
  Student answered confidently and correctly the first time, indicating prior knowledge of the concept. This bar corresponds to the Mastery (green) bar in the Knowledge section.
