My student can already play chess. At what level should he/she start?

Use the entry test

Do you want students who can already play chess to quickly start at the right level in Chessity? Then use the entry test, which you can set up in the Exams tool (coach tab):

The video below teaches you:

to have students take entry tests
how Chessto helps with new tasks if the student fails the entry test
that only those gaps after failing need to be addressed
that students can be accurately assessed at the right level on Chessity in just a few hours!

Note: the video describes an older version of the exam tool. Use the explanation above to set up an entry test.

Unlock lessons

It is also possible to unlock all lessons for a student. He or she does not need to unlock lessons first but can start with a lesson of choice.

Go to coach - manage student accounts and check the username in question.
Choose the action Unlock all lessons in the dropdown menu and click Ok.

Note!

Children often overestimate their own level (a lot). They then start with lessons that are too difficult, leading to frustration. Taking a step back in level is difficult for many children. Our advice is to be very cautious with unlocking all lessons! Using the entry test is the best method to quickly get children working at their own level.
