- Low communication score? → Check Advanced Skills
- Want specific examples? → Review Annotated Transcript
- Curious about theoretical approach? → See Theory Analysis
Comparing Across Sessions
Your dashboard shows score trends over time:
- Progress Chart: Visual representation of score changes
- Skill Development: Category-specific improvement tracking
- Consistency Indicators: Variability in your performance
Interpreting Trends
📈 Upward Trend: Consistent improvement - keep practicing!
📊 Plateau: Skills stabilizing - time to challenge yourself with harder scenarios

Setting Goals Based on Feedback
SMART Goals Framework
Use your high-level feedback to create specific, actionable goals:
- Specific: "Improve empathy score from 65 to 75"
- Measurable: Track score changes across sessions
- Achievable: Focus on 1-2 categories at a time
- Relevant: Align with your learning objectives
- Time-bound: "Within the next 5 practice sessions"
Common Questions
Why did my score drop from last time?
Score decreases can happen due to:
- More challenging scenario selection
- Different scenario type requiring different skills
- Natural variation in performance
- Trying new techniques (which may feel awkward at first)
What's a "good" score for my level?
This depends on your training stage:
- Beginners: 60-70 is expected
- Intermediate: 70-80 is typical
- Advanced: 80-90+ as skills solidify
Should I only practice scenarios in my weak areas?
Balance is key:
- 70% of practice on weak areas
- 30% maintaining and expanding strong areas
- Periodically try diverse scenarios for well-rounded development
