Consiliae v3 is live: what’s new

We’ve shipped quite a few changes over the last couple of weeks. A lot of them came directly from things people told us while using Consiliae.

Here’s what changed in v3.

Stop reviewing things you already know

If a review comes up for something you’ve already mastered, you can now mark it as known.

Once you do, Consiliae stops scheduling that concept for review. You can spend that time on the things you’re actually trying to learn.

Pick up where you left off

Lessons, quizzes and the Knowledge Scan can now be paused and resumed.

If you leave halfway through, you can come back later and carry on from the same place. This works across devices too.

Calculator support in more lessons

We’ve added a calculator to more lessons where doing the arithmetic by hand isn’t the point.

That includes topics like Pythagoras, areas involving π and questions with larger numbers.

You can still work things out yourself if you want to. The calculator is there when you need it.

Retake the Knowledge Scan without losing progress

You can now retake the Knowledge Scan without affecting your existing results while the new scan is in progress.

Your current results stay in place until you finish. Once completed, the retake can only add to what Consiliae already has marked as known.

Your first lesson now waits for your Knowledge Scan

Previously, your first lesson could be selected before the Knowledge Scan was finished.

That’s changed.

Your first lesson now waits for your scan results, so your route can start closer to the prerequisite gaps you actually need to work on.

Learning tools are now in the same place

The calculator, sketchpad and Scholar Review now appear in the same place throughout lessons, quizzes and reviews.

A small change, but one that removes a lot of unnecessary hunting around.

Quick checks now let you try again

Getting a quick-check question wrong no longer means immediately moving on.

You can try the question again, and if you’re using a keyboard, you can now press Enter to check your answer.

Built from your feedback

Several of these changes started with someone telling us about a problem they had while learning.

Please keep doing that.

We read the feedback that comes in, talk through it as a team, and use it when deciding what to fix or build next.
