Understanding Quizgecko's Mastery Score

How the Mastery Score tracks your progress on a subject.

Updated Nov 21, 2025

Quizgecko introduces the Mastery Score™, a simple stat that helps you track your progress and mastery of a subject.

Reach 100% by acing all the quiz questions and studying the flashcards until you know them perfectly.

What is the Mastery Score™?

The Mastery Score™ is a percentage value that represents your level of mastery over the questions in a specific quiz/flashcard set. It takes into account various factors, such as:

  1. Correctness of your answers
  2. Number of times you've reviewed each question
  3. Flashcard ease factor (how difficult you find each question)

By considering these elements, the Mastery Score™ provides a comprehensive assessment of your knowledge and retention.

How is the Mastery Score™ calculated?

Quizgecko's algorithm calculates your Mastery Score™ using a weighted scoring system. Here's a simplified overview:

  1. Correct answers contribute to a higher score.
  2. The more times you've reviewed a question, the higher its impact on your score
  3. Questions with a higher ease factor (i.e., those you find easier) have a greater influence on your score.

The exact calculation involves normalizing and averaging the scores for each question, taking into account the maximum possible score.

Benefits of the Mastery Score™

The Mastery Score™ offers several advantages for your learning journey:

  1. Track your progress: Monitor your mastery level over time and identify areas for improvement.
  2. Set goals: Use your Mastery Score™ as a benchmark to set achievable learning goals.
  3. Identify strengths and weaknesses: Pinpoint topics or questions that require more attention.
  4. Stay motivated: Celebrate your achievements as you watch your Mastery Score™ rise.
