Accurate
A correct answer matters, but one correct response is not enough evidence that recall is secure.
Fluency is more than getting one answer right
Secure recall needs accuracy, sufficient evidence and prompt responses—not a single percentage taken out of context.
Prompt
Times Quest’s existing fluency rule expects fluent answers within five seconds.
Repeated
The latest three required answers must all meet the fluency rule for that fact family.
Assigned learning matters
A pupil should not appear behind because they have not mastered tables they were never assigned. Times Quest calculates current progress only from the pupil’s effective class, practice-group or individual learning scope.
Multiplication and related division
When multiplication only is assigned, only multiplication evidence is required. When both operations are assigned, the related multiplication and division evidence must both be fluent. Division increases the evidence required without creating an artificial second progress denominator.
