Tips

  • Don't worry about the overall percentage progress shown; it's often very low and not a true reflection of your learning.
  • Check your progress regularly to ensure your work is saving correctly.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Not logging in

Reason: Progress is only saved and tracked when you are logged into your Khan Academy account.
Solution: Ensure you are logged in to your Khan Academy account before starting or reviewing your progress.

2. Misinterpreting the progress bar/percentage

Reason: The progress bar or percentage might not reflect mastery, but rather completion of exercises within a specific topic or skill. A high percentage doesn't automatically mean mastery.
Solution: Review individual skill reports and focus on practicing areas where mastery is low, rather than just focusing on the overall percentage.

FAQs

How can I see my overall progress across all subjects on Khan Academy?
Khan Academy provides a dashboard showing your overall progress. You'll see a summary of your activity, including total points earned, skills practiced, and courses completed. This is usually accessible from your main profile page.
I'm stuck on a particular skill. How can I pinpoint where I'm struggling?
Within each subject, Khan Academy tracks your progress on individual skills. Look for skills marked as 'incomplete' or those with low mastery percentages. This will highlight the areas requiring more practice and attention.
