At iStoria, we want your learning experience to be perfectly tailored to your current abilities. Whether you want to retake the Placement Test to jump ahead, simply change your level, or completely restart your journey from scratch, here is your complete guide on how to manage your progress.
1️⃣ The iStoria Placement Test & Changing Your Level
The Placement Test is your smart gateway to a personalized learning journey. It evaluates your skills in reading, vocabulary, and grammar in just a few minutes to place you at the exact level that matches your abilities.
Why Should You Take the Placement Test?
Learn Smart: Start exactly where your knowledge ends. Skip what you already know to save time and effort.
A Boredom-Free Experience: We ensure the content challenges your skills without being overwhelming.
Full Flexibility: You can retake the test at any time if you feel your language has improved and you want to jump to a higher level.
How to Change Your Level (or Retake the Test)
To take the test or adjust your current level, follow these quick steps within the app:
Go to your Profile page.
Tap the Settings (gear) icon at the top of the page.
Select "Change Level".
From here, you can choose to Start Placement Test to find your true level, or directly select a specific level to start from.
Note: Changing your level moves you to new stories, but you will keep all your general achievements (Words learned, Streaks, and Badges).
2️⃣ Reset Learning Progress (Start Fresh)
Sometimes you just want a completely clean slate. The Reset Progress feature allows you to delete all your current app data and start your English journey from the very beginning.
⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING:
Resetting your progress is a permanent action that cannot be undone. It will completely erase:
Your current level and story progress.
All the vocabulary words you have learned (Your "I Know" list).
Your learning streak and earned badges.
How to Reset Your Progress
If you are absolutely sure you want to start fresh as a completely new user:
Go to your Profile page.
Tap the Settings (gear) icon.
Select "Reset Progress".
Confirm your choice.
🙋♂️ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why can't I open stories from previous levels?
Because your test results confirmed you've surpassed them! We lock earlier content to keep your focus 100% on new challenges that actually improve your fluency.
Q: How do I go back to Level 1?
Simply go to "Change Level" in your Settings. You can choose to Start from Level 1 directly. (Note: Selecting a new level restarts your journey from the first story of that specific level).
