2026-09-22Secure → Secure22 Sep, non-calc, 13 days after securing: biased coin P(H) 0.4 twice, exactly one head → 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.24, × 2 = 12/25, routes combined and simplified unprompted. Not yet at the 3-week mark for exam-ready.session 38
2026-09-21Secure → Secureaudit: bar met in session 34 — spaced retest 12 days after securing: P(both red) 0.09, P(exactly one red) 0.42 with routes combined unprompted, 8/10→4/5 simplified, all non-calculator and unaided.standalone
2026-09-21Secure → Secure21 Sep practice, non-calc, 12 days after securing: P(red both) 0.09 ✓; P(exactly one red) 0.42 ✓ with '0.3 × 0.7 = 0.21, 0.21 × 2' written — routes combined with no prompt; P(red or blue) 8/10 → 4/5 ✓ simplified. Spaced retest passed; no add/multiply confusion.session 34
2026-09-10Developing → Secure9 Sep: multiply-along-path and add-between-paths applied correctly throughout the tree work, including multi-route questions in the exit ticket with no prompt to combine — the exact thing that needed prompting on 8 Sep. Starter P(both blue) with replacement 9/64 correct and simplified.session 17
2026-09-08Gap → DevelopingTaught 8 Sep. OR-add / AND-multiply decision correct on every two-event question with replacement. Multi-route questions (both same colour, exactly one red) — all products correct unprompted, but needed one prompt to add the routes together in each case. Exit ticket cut short at Q4.session 11
