Understanding Your Data

How is my study streak calculated?

Your study streak counts consecutive days with at least one practice session. It resets to 0 if you skip a day. The streak is based on the lastStudyDate field, which updates whenever you complete practice questions.

What counts as a practice question?

Any question answered in a practice session counts toward your Practice Questions metric. This includes:

• Question bank practice
• Mock exam questions
• Timed practice sections

Bookmarked or viewed-but-not-answered questions don’t increment this count.

How often does my dashboard update?

• Study streak: Updates once per day when you practice
• Practice questions: Updates immediately after each session
• Performance insights: Updates after completing exams/sessions
• Countdown timer: Updates every second in real-time

Can I manually adjust my metrics?

You can update:

• Current Score (via exam result dialog)
• Target Score (via exam result dialog)
• Exam Date (via exam result dialog)

You cannot manually adjust:

• Practice Questions count (auto-tracked)
• Study Streak (auto-calculated)
• Performance insights (generated from practice data)

Where is my practice history stored?

All practice history is stored securely in your user profile:

• Session data includes responses, timestamps, scores
• Accessible via the Practice History section
• Used to generate performance insights
• Retained indefinitely for progress tracking
