When a Result Counts, and Official Results

Counted, incomplete or not yet final

A plan test counts when its grading is final and the sitting is complete:

• every section that was set has a score;
• at least half the questions in each Reading, Listening and SAT section are answered;
• every IELTS Writing task and Speaking part has an answer;
• on the SAT, each section reached its last module.

A test that falls short is marked Incomplete — not counted. The recipients get its result, and the plan sets another test rather than reading a mostly-blank sitting as the student's level. No practice drills are set from an incomplete test.

Writing and Speaking are graded when the student submits. If that takes longer than ten minutes, the result shows still being scored and fills in by itself. If grading fails, the test is marked Grading failed — not counted, the recipients are told, and the plan moves on.

Skills checks count toward the section view. Challenge tests are shown as raw correct answers and are never counted or presented as an official-style score.

First scores

The plan always works from the first final scores of a test. If a result changes later — a re-mark, or answers saved after the end — the new scores are shown and emailed once, but the plan's pace, alerts and next test are not re-decided.

Teacher review

If the student's results are held for teacher review, the plan still sees the result straight away and carries on. The student sees their scores when the result is released, as usual.

Recording the official result

When the student's real exam result arrives, open the plan page and fill in Official exam result:

Press Record and close the plan. The plan closes, and the official result is stored alongside every mock the student took before that date — so you can see, student by student, how the mocks compared with the real exam.
