15 questions that show exactly which part of factorizing quadratics is solid and which part is losing marks. Not just a score, a map.
After answering each question, tap how sure you are. Be honest: a lucky guess and real understanding look the same in a normal test, but not here.
Have a rough sheet and pencil ready. No calculator needed.
How sure are you?
Every answer falls into one of four kinds, depending on whether it was right and how sure the student felt.
SolidRight, and sure of it. This is learnt.
FragileRight, but not sure. Could easily slip in an exam.
MisconceptionWrong, but sure. A rule has been learnt the wrong way.
Not learnt yetWrong, and not sure. Ready to be taught.
Five skills, three questions each. Each dot is one question.
Misconceptions matter most. Extra practice won't fix them, because the student keeps applying the wrong rule with confidence. They need to be untaught first.
Every wrong answer in this check matches a known mistake. These are the ones that appeared.

Factorization comes back in quadratic equations, polynomials and trigonometry in Class 10, so a gap here costs marks in several chapters. I wrote every wrong option in this check from mistakes I see students make again and again. The path above is the order I'd tackle them in.

Two taps and an optional note. I read every reply, and it helps me make this check better.
