The Key to More Points: Revision Stars
EP rewards spaced revision. After your first star on an item, you can earn more stars on a schedule:
| Star | When you can earn it |
|---|---|
| Star 2 | The day after star 1 |
| Star 3 | One week after star 2 |
| Star 4 | One month after star 3 |
| Star 5 | Three months after star 4 |
| Star 5+ | One more every six months |
This is spaced repetition, a proven learning method. Reviewing on schedule earns points and helps you remember. Read more in how to study without forgetting.
Strategies to Earn More Points
- Aim for accuracy. Getting answers right first time earns points faster than guessing.
- Revise every day. Come back the next day, next week and next month to collect revision stars.
- Complete Smart Lessons fully to collect one-time bonus points.
- Use Dash for revision. Each Dash play-through earns up to 10 revision points, and you can play again.
- Study in short, regular sessions rather than one long session.
What Does Not Earn Points
- Exercise mode (blue sections).
- Vocabulary list work in Long Answer sections.
Competitions
Points earned in competitions such as the EP World Series go to a separate Competition Score. Work you have already completed may not add to your Full Year Score. Teachers can learn more in EP’s teacher guide to points.
Learn, Don’t Just Collect
Points are a motivator, but the real goal is learning. Self-testing and spaced review are two of the strongest study methods; see UC San Diego’s explanation of retrieval practice. For more, read the best studying methods and the best apps for educational productivity.
Final Thoughts
On Education Perfect, accurate answers and regular, spaced revision are the fastest ways to earn points. Use revision stars and Dash, and you will collect points while building long-lasting knowledge.
