What's a game without scores?
In addition to your goal to grow your business to the max, you'll also be aiming for the best scores and grades in the Steps and Courses you complete!
Steps
Steps that are not graded will always appear blank, whether you played them or not. Note that because these Steps won't issue a grade for themselves, they won't affect your Course grade either!
Graded Steps always start as "Incomplete." The moment you play a graded Step, you'll earn a score based on how well you do. Scores are shown as percentages, with 100% being the best you can get!
A graded Step will remain "Incomplete" if:
it's abandoned (you leave a game before you finish)
it's incomplete (you haven't tried it)
you lose all your lives
- Multipliers -
When you replay a graded Step and get 100% on it more than once, a multiplier bubble will appear to show how many times you've perfectly completed it — great job!
Courses
Much like Steps, Courses start with no grade whatsoever.
The moment you successfully complete a graded Step within the Course, a completion percentage will appear! As you complete more graded Steps, this number will increase to show you how much closer you are to finishing the Course.
Note that if your Course consists of only non-graded Steps, that Course won't be graded either (and it won't have a completion marker)!
- Getting Grades -
Once you've completed each graded Step within a Course, when enabled by your administrator the completion percentage will be replaced with a letter grade! Your Course grade is the average score of all its graded Steps.
To increase your letter grade, replay each lower-graded Step! As you ace each one, your grade will improve — go for an A+, we believe in you!
- Only recent scores count -
If you play the same graded Step multiple times, only your most recent score will count toward your Course grade.
Let's say you played the same graded Step four times, acing the first three tries and getting a 60% on the fourth. The score used for the Course grade would be 60%.
- Why does it take the most recent score? -
Your most recent score represents your current knowledge. Everyone can forget what they've learned over time, even if they knew it all once before.
Whether you earned a lower score, or simply want to stay on top of it, replay your graded Steps regularly to maintain your high scores!
Grading System
LemonadeLXP uses the standard University grading system, where each Course letter grade represents the following percentage ranges:
95-100% = A+
90-94% = A
85-89% = A-
80-84% = B+
75-79% = B
70-74% = B-
65-69% = C+
60-64% = C
55-59% = C-
50-54% = D+
45-49% = D
40-44% = D-
0%-39% = F
