Timeback Learn / PowerPath-100 activities 

• XP = accuracy multiplier × attempt multiplier, minus XP already earned on prior attempts.
  • Accuracy multiplier: 100% → 1.25x; 80-99% → 1x; below 80% → 0x. This is why a completed activity can show 0 XP.
  • Attempt multiplier: attempt 1 → 1x; attempt 2 → 0.5x; attempt 3 → 0.25x; attempt 4+ → 0x.
• Self-serve repeat attempt:
  • A student can re-attempt a completed PowerPath-100 activity themselves.
  • Opening the completed activity from the TimeBack dashboard shows a "Start Again to Earn XP" button, which creates a new attempt without erasing the prior one. Support must not tell requesters that a completed practice cannot be re-attempted.
