Training States
Available
Ready to start your first attempt
Passed
You reached the minimum score. You can retry to improve (optional)
Failed
You did not reach the minimum score. You can retry if you have attempts available
Locked
You must complete the previous training to unlock it
Locked - Skipped
You moved to the next one without passing. It became locked, but you keep your best score
Attempts Exhausted
You have used all allowed attempts. You can only view the results
- Trainings unlock sequentially (one after another)
- You can move to the next training even if you failed the current one
- If you move on without passing, the previous training will be locked (state "Locked - Skipped")
- Your best score is always kept, even if the training becomes locked
- Each training has a limited number of attempts

Review your Results
Analyze your performance and learn from mistakes
You can move to the next training even if you did not pass the current one. This will lock the previous training, but your best score will be kept for the course average calculation. If you passed, you can optionally retry to improve your score. If you failed and move on, you will lose the chance to retry that training.

Example: Image Question
Look at the graph. What type of function is shown?
Example: Multimedia Question
Look at the graph and listen to the audio. Which function is represented?
Sine Wave
The sine function represents a smooth and regular periodic oscillation. In sonification, it generates a pure and continuous tone.
Cosine Wave
The cosine function is similar to the sine function but with a different initial phase. It produces a pure tone with the same period but phase-shifted.
Constant Function
The constant function keeps a fixed value over time. Its sonification produces a continuous tone with no frequency variation.
Decreasing Function
The decreasing function shows a gradual decrease in value. Its sonification produces a tone that progressively descends.
Quadratic Function
The quadratic function has a parabola (U) shape. Its sonification creates a pattern that speeds up at the ends and slows down in the center.
Inverted Quadratic Function
The inverted quadratic function has an upside-down parabola shape. Its sonification is the opposite pattern: it slows at the ends and speeds up in the center.
