Your dashboard: readiness, streaks, XP & badges

The dashboard is your home base. It has four tabs: on a computer they sit at the top of the page, on a phone they're the bar at the bottom of the screen, like in an app.

• Today — today's session, your exam card and three quick numbers: readiness, streak and level.
• Practice — the six sections (grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, writing, speaking), word review and the grammar diagnostic.
• Exam — all 10 mock exams with your best score on each, the exam tips library, and where to tell us your real result.
• Progress — readiness by section, the streak calendar, your level, recent activity and badges.

On a phone the fifth button, Profile, opens Settings. The back arrow in any section takes you back to the tab you came from. Prefer the previous one-page dashboard? Choose Classic under Interface in Settings. Here's what each part means.

Exam countdown

Set your exam date and the dashboard counts down the days. Booked a date? Add it right away — pacing your prep against a real date is the single best motivator. You can change or remove the date anytime (also from Settings).

Already passed, or the date doesn't matter anymore? Close the exam card with the × in its corner. To bring it back, switch on Show the exam card on my dashboard in Settings.

Exam date, reminders and your result

Set your exam date once (during setup, on the dashboard countdown, or in Settings) and three things follow. The countdown shows when CAPLE is expected to publish results for that session. With study reminders on, you get three exam emails — one month, two weeks and one week before — each with the plan for that stretch. And about six weeks after the exam we ask how it went: your result and, if you like, a few words for the next learner. No date yet? The dashboard shows the next CAPLE session you can still enrol for, with the enrolment deadline, and one tap makes it your exam date.

Today's session

The first card on the dashboard is a short plan for the day — usually four items, about 20 minutes: your due vocabulary (or the next set), one grammar module (the weakest one from your diagnostic if you have one), one reading or listening exercise, and one writing or speaking task. Saturdays add a full mock exam, and so does every third day once your exam is two weeks away. Items tick themselves off as you complete them; the list is fixed for the day, so finishing one thing doesn't shuffle the rest. Free accounts get a plan built only from the free content.

Readiness score

The 🎯 readiness meter is a weighted 0–100% score across all sections. Each section counts two things: how much of it you've covered (40%) and how your latest attempts actually went (60%) — the last five results in that section, so improvement shows up fast. A section you've only opened but never been measured in tops out at 70%.

• Mock exams — 30% (the closest thing to the real result)
• Grammar — 20% (diagnostic + session results)
• Listening — 13%, Reading — 12%
• Vocabulary — 10% (accuracy in Context mode), Writing — 10% (AI scores)
• Speaking — 5%

Labels move from Just starting → Getting there (31%+) → Almost ready (61%+) → Exam ready! (86%+). The Progress tab breaks the score down by section, so you can see which one is holding it back.

Streaks 🔥

Any completed activity counts toward your daily streak. Days follow your own time zone: practise any time before midnight where you are and it counts for today. Miss a whole day and the counter goes back to 0. The Today tab shows your current and longest streak; the Progress tab adds a calendar of recent days. Two badges reward consistency: 7 days (Streak Machine) and 30 days (Iron Will).

XP and levels ⭐

Almost everything awards XP the first time you finish it: 10 XP per correct grammar answer, 10 XP per vocabulary mode, 15 XP per reading text or listening exercise (20 for the advanced ones), 20 XP per writing task, 15 XP per speaking prompt with AI feedback (10 for a self-check), and 100 XP per mock exam. The ladder has 8 levels, from Iniciante (0 XP) to CIPLE Ready! at 3000 XP. Tap the level card to see the full ladder.

Badges

There are 12 achievements — from First Steps (your first exercise) to Grammar Guru (all 20 modules), Mock Champion (all 10 mocks) and Exam Ready (3000 XP). Tap any badge to see its progress bar and a tip for earning it.

Sections, mock exams and recent activity

On the Practice tab each section tile shows how much you've completed. Inside a section, a card at the top picks up where you left off, the items are grouped by topic or difficulty, and the next one is marked Next up. The Exam tab lists the 10 mock exams: finished ones get a tick and your best score next to them (55% is the pass mark). Recent Activity on the Progress tab shows your last 5 completed items with scores and XP.
