What is TTC Challenge?

1. The Limitations of Simply Re-Showing Incorrect Questions

Merely seeing the same problems again often does not lead students to deeply understand why they made mistakes.

Since no review records are kept, except for a few exceptionally attentive parents, most parents cannot accurately monitor their child’s review progress.

2. The Core Structure of TTC Challenge:

‘Review 5 Questions → Unlock New Challenge Questions’

TTC Challenge is designed based on each student’s test results through a system of
‘Reviewing 5 incorrect questions (up to 15 wrong questions) via Retest → Unlocking new challenge questions.’

● Students review 5 questions grouped from their mistakes.
● The Review is provided in a Retest format, where students must actively attempt the problems again and confirm their understanding.
● Upon completing the Review, students unlock a new set of challenge questions designed to extend their thinking and consolidate their skills.

📌 In short, it is not about simply re-showing problems —
it is about guiding students to recognise and overcome their mistakes through a structured learning process.

3. Special Structure for MR/TS Subjects: 

Review from Easier Problems and Unlock New Challenges

For Mathematical Reasoning (MR) and Thinking Skills (TS) subjects,
the following special structure applies:

● Students start the Review with easier problems first, based on their average performance.
● The Review is provided in a Retest format, where students re-attempt the questions themselves.
● Once the Review is fully completed, students can access a full review of the five questions they missed, and only after finishing this can they move to the next set.

Additionally, students who sincerely complete the Review are given an extra set of five more challenging problems to further sharpen their abilities.

Through this, students:

● Build a stronger foundation, and
● Progress toward higher levels of problem-solving competence.

4. How the Reading Review is Structured

In Reading, the Review process is also based on groups of 5 questions per set, derived from the student’s incorrect answers.
However:

Unlike MR/TS, the questions are provided in the order of the original passage flow,
not sorted by difficulty level.
Students review the questions sequentially, maintaining the flow of the reading material.

After sincerely completing the Review,
students are given an additional new Reading set (1+1) for extended practice.

5. Why Is the Retest Review System Essential?

Consider the following:

● During the Review session, students already receive explanations and correct answers.
● If, even after a week, they cannot correctly solve the same five questions — even starting from easier ones —
it clearly indicates that the student has not genuinely understood the material.

STTC Challenge is designed to
help students recognise these learning gaps themselves and support them in systematically overcoming their weaknesses.

6. Why Independent Study Is Crucial

Merely sitting for exams and attending classes alone cannot guarantee real skill development.
Students must actively review their mistakes, reflect, and engage in repeated practice.

We understand better than anyone else that:
“Without independent study, significant academic improvement is extremely difficult.”

TTC Challenge is structured to naturally instil the habit of self-review, critical thinking, and continuous improvement.

7. Parents’ Reactions to the Retest Review System

Initially, because the Retest Review System is a new and unfamiliar style of Review,
some parents may find the process inconvenient.

However, among the parents who understood and trusted the system,
we have received numerous positive feedback reports that students have achieved real academic improvement through this method.

▶ Summary

STTC Challenge is a systematic learning system where students review five incorrect problems (up to 15 wrong questions), complete the review through retests, and then unlock new challenge problems. MR/TS subjects start with easier problems for review, and Reading provides five-question sets according to the passage flow. Students cannot simply rely on taking tests and attending classes; independent study and active review are essential for genuine academic improvement. Many parents who understood the Retest Review System have witnessed real improvement in their children’s academic performance.
