Move through numbered PeerTutor problems without skipping failed gates.
03Mirror
Enter Khan report evidence and let the adaptive plan rank repair units.
04Handoff
Bring exact misses, notes, and one sharp question to a tutor.
The bank is intentionally mixed across facets and difficulty so high scores cannot come from one narrow question style.

Khan progress mirror
Mirror outside mastery into PeerTutor practice
Khan Academy progress has to be entered from the student or tutor report. Khan does not provide a supported public progress API, so this mirror stores unit status locally and uses it to target PeerTutor checks.
