How to Use Insights and Progress on NeuraGeek

Revision becomes much easier to manage when you can see what you have actually been doing, where your time is going and which parts of a subject still need work. NeuraGeek tracks study activity at two levels. Insights gives you an overall view across all of your subjects, while Progress sits inside an individual subject and shows a more detailed picture of that subject alone. The two views are designed for different questions. Use Insights when you want to understand your wider study pattern across NeuraGeek, and use Progress when you want to inspect one subject more closely.

1. Open Insights from the main NeuraGeek navigation

After signing in, select Insights from the left-hand navigation. Because Insights sits at account level rather than inside one subject, it combines activity across the subjects you are studying. This is the place to look when you want to answer broader questions such as which subjects have taken most of your time, whether you have been studying consistently this week, or which subjects currently need more attention.

2. Use Insights to understand your overall study pattern

The Insights page starts with a monthly summary. The current view shows total study time, the number of questions attempted and a daily-activity chart, so you can see whether your revision has been spread across the month or concentrated into only a few days. Beside it, the breakdown separates activity by type, including AI questions, past papers, topicals, quizzes and mock papers. Below that, NeuraGeek highlights subjects that need attention and shows a weekly activity view. The sessions section gives a quick picture of the types of work completed, while the time-distribution chart shows how your study time has been divided between subjects. This makes Insights useful for spotting imbalance. If one subject is taking nearly all of your time while another is barely being touched, the problem becomes visible before the exam gets close.

3. Open Progress from inside a specific subject

When you want detail about one subject rather than your whole account, open that subject from Subjects. At the bottom of the subject page, select View progress. The subject page itself groups the tools into Learn, Practise and Papers, while Progress is the place where the results of that work are brought together. This separation is useful. Insights can tell you that Chemistry is receiving less attention than your other subjects, but Chemistry Progress can show what is actually happening inside Chemistry: how many quizzes you have completed, your study time, your accuracy, which topics are weak and what kinds of questions you have been attempting.

4. Start with the Progress Overview

The Overview tab gives you the fastest summary of where you stand in that subject. At the top, the page shows headline activity measures such as quizzes completed, study time and accuracy. The Where you stand section is designed to build a clearer performance picture as you complete more practice, including predicted-grade and weekly-score areas once enough activity exists. The Topics to fix section is especially useful after you have started answering questions. It surfaces areas where performance is weak instead of forcing you to remember which chapters caused problems. Below that, By difficulty separates performance across Easy, Medium and Hard work. If you are accurate on easier questions but have not attempted medium or hard material yet, the page makes that gap obvious. If your accuracy is low in one difficulty band, that can become the next target for practice.

5. Use History to see what you have actually done

Open the History tab when you want a chronological record of your activity in the subject. The history list records the item you worked on, the type of activity and the time it was completed or opened. In the example shown here, the history includes Live Solver and Topical Paper activity for individual Chemistry topics such as Isotopes and Rate of reaction. This is useful when revision starts to blur together. Instead of relying on memory, you can check whether you really practised a topic recently, whether you returned to it several times, and which type of activity you used. The star control beside history entries can also be used when you want to keep something important easy to find later.

6. Use Papers to return to saved tests and mocks

The Papers tab stores paper-based work you have saved in the subject. The example shown includes a Test Builder paper and an AI Mock. Each saved item keeps its type and date visible, with controls to open or view it again. This is useful when you want to return to a custom test, revisit a generated mock or keep important paper-based practice together instead of generating a new version every time. Saved papers are most useful when you treat them as part of a revision cycle. You might build a test for a weak area, save it, complete the work, then return later to check whether the same material has become easier. Keeping those papers inside Progress makes it easier to revisit work that was deliberately created for your own revision.

7. Use Starred Items for things you want to keep easy to find

Progress also includes a Starred Items tab. Star controls appear beside items in areas such as History and saved paper lists. Use starring selectively for work you genuinely expect to revisit: a difficult topical set, a useful paper, or an activity that exposed an important weakness. If everything is starred, the list stops being useful.

8. Turn the data into the next revision decision

The point of Insights and Progress is not to collect statistics for their own sake. Use them to decide what happens next. Insights can show that one subject is being neglected. Subject Progress can then show the weak topics inside that subject. From there, move back into the appropriate NeuraGeek tool: use the AI Tutor if the issue is understanding, Topical Papers if one chapter needs repeated exam-question practice, Quiz Room if you need a quick accuracy check, Test Builder for a custom set, or a mock when you are ready to test several areas together. The same idea works after a period of improvement. If a topic no longer appears as a problem and your accuracy is rising, you can stop spending disproportionate time on it and redirect the next session elsewhere. Progress should change what you practise.

A practical Insights and Progress workflow

A simple routine is enough:

1. Open Insights from the main navigation once you want an account-wide view of your study activity.
2. Check the activity breakdown and time distribution to see whether your subjects are receiving balanced attention.
3. Look at the subjects marked as needing attention and choose one to inspect more closely.
4. Open that subject and select View progress.
5. Use Overview to check activity, accuracy, weak topics and difficulty-level performance.
6. Open History when you want to confirm what you have already practised and how recently you did it.
7. Use Papers and Starred Items to return to saved or important work instead of starting from scratch.
8. Choose the next NeuraGeek activity based on what the data shows, then check Progress again after more practice.

Do not treat one low score as the whole story

Early Progress screens can look sparse or harsh because they are built from the work you have actually completed. One weak quiz or a very small number of questions is not the same thing as a complete picture of your ability. Use the page to identify signals, then collect more evidence by practising again. The more varied your work becomes across quizzes, topicals, papers, mocks and other NeuraGeek activities, the more useful the pattern becomes.

Put it into practice

Open Insights and look at your current subject split before you start your next revision session. Pick one subject that needs attention, open its Progress page and find one weak topic or missing area of practice. Then choose the NeuraGeek tool that matches that problem and complete a focused session. The useful part of Insights and Progress is not seeing the numbers; it is using those numbers to make the next study decision more deliberate.
