Ans: You need to change your browser view from mobile to desktop. This can be done by clicking the three dots on the top of your browser page (on chrome browser) and checking Desktop view. You can now see your mastery percentage on the top right.

Do not get confused between the unit test completion score and mastery points on the top right. Unit test score shows the performance in the test while course mastery points on the top left to give you your overall mastery score of the course.

You need to have at least 50% on course mastery to qualify for a certificate.

Ans: Since you have mastered this course, you are ready to get started on Khan Academy. We recommend you create all the classes that you teach on Khan Academy and add your students.

Will you be building Maths Foundation courses for Class 11 and 12 too? And will you link to Schoolhouse's Doubt Clearing in a blurb on your Class 10, 11, 12 and NSDC Maths courses? schoolhouse.world/live-help/doubt-clearing?ref=u-3rvjjcld4t

I work as a math tutor in a small private school with students 7th through 12th grades who really need remedial work on basic math skills before tackling their grade-appropriate math classes. Their instruction is already individualized. How can I best use Khan Academy to help them get up to speed?

  Hi! I'm a Schoolhouse.world tutor, who's met students with the kinds of needs you describe. Looks like you can use Khan Academy Teacher Tools and Course Mastery to tremendous effect with your students. If you're not in India, I recommend checking out the US K4E course.
  
  Have a student start with the Khan Academy course at their grade level, or the Get Ready course for their current grade. Taking the Course Challenge once or twice will quickly reveal gaps, while giving credit for what they know. This formula of Course Challenge first, then filling in gaps will become important as you'll see shortly.
  
  Now go to the units the student is struggling in, and repeat this with the Unit Test. Unit Tests are a mini-challenge focused on a specific Unit. Use quizzes, exercises, videos, and articles to master the concepts, then level up to 100% mastery using Unit Tests. Keep track of Mastery Challenges too - they show up every 12 hours, and test you on the skills you were most struggling with, or haven't visited in a while.
  
  If a student has lots of gaps, they can start at Early math and master it quickly using Course Challenges and Unit Tests, then repeat the same with Arithmetic and Prealgebra, and maybe some of the early grade-level courses up to their current grade. But this is only if you want a super-ultra-strong foundation, in Khan Academy's words. Otherwise, the Get Readyfor Grade Level courses and the main grade level courses should be just fine.
  
  Oh, and for all of these, make sure you assign the Course Mastery goal to your student so they can practice. Khan Academy blog contains study tips if you need some, and Schoolhouse.world tutors are always there to help with drop-in 1:1 Math Help, Khan Academy Crash Courses, and more! Schoolhouse also certifies Khan Academy mastery!
