# Insights and progress

Insights gives students a personal view of their assessment activity and performance over time. It is designed for the signed-in student: they see their own information, not administrator reports or another student's results.

### What the Insights dashboard shows

Where enough data is available, students can see measures such as:

* average score for the selected period;
* the number of questions answered;
* changes compared with the previous period;
* average score over time;
* scores broken down by subject, topic and subtopic; and
* breakdowns using other configured tag sets, such as skill or difficulty.

Students can filter the dashboard by tag set, subject, topic and timeframe. Available timeframes include recent days, weeks or months. A **Last updated** message explains how current the displayed information is.

If there is not enough activity for the selected filters, Synap shows an empty state rather than a chart. This does not necessarily mean the student has never taken an assessment; the attempt may sit outside the chosen timeframe or may not contain the tags needed for that breakdown.

### Attempts, progress and records

Depending on the pages enabled for the student's User type, the student area can also provide separate views for:

| View             | What the student can understand                                                 |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Attempts         | Which quizzes or assessments they have taken and the results available to them. |
| Progress tracker | How performance is developing across configured papers, subjects or units.      |
| Records          | Other learning records made available through the portal.                       |

These views do not override the release rules on an Exam or Quiz. An Administrator may be able to see a submitted or marked attempt before its result is visible to the student.

### Why tags matter

Subject and topic charts depend on questions being tagged consistently. Untagged questions can appear without a subject or may not contribute to the breakdown a student expects. If you want Insights to support revision decisions, use a stable tag structure across the relevant question bank.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a student reports a missing score, check the assessment's result settings and the attempt's marking, finalisation and release state before checking Insights filters.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://synap.ac/docs/platform/learner-experience/insights-and-progress.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
