How it works
Choosing this curriculum creates a course in Chalkset with one study set per unit and the exam date set to the start of the next testing window. Readiness is weighted the way the exam is, so a weak unit that carries 18% of the score pulls harder than one that carries 6%. Questions for each unit are written by the agent when you open it, from the published objectives.
