Elevate is built to hone skills such as concentration, processing power, and concentration with a variety of ELA and math tasks. The subject matter variety is commendable, and there is some cool content as well. Playing games to learn to remember people’s names isn’t a bad real-world skill to develop. Many tasks emphasize quick thinking rather than content knowledge. Each game focuses on lightning-fast decision making. This is a great goal, but the developers assume a very high level of prior knowledge and don’t offer much support for users to develop that knowledge. Limited feedback is available so that users can get the missed question right the next time they see it. The developer added a learning mode with no time limit. This is how you play the game to help you practice your tasks.
Questions that test the user’s knowledge of English grammar assume a high level of fluency in the English language, but do not give you the opportunity to double-check or review the grammar rules and extensive vocabulary within the app. The built-in glossaries and grammar lessons provide better support in language tests, as do some primers on math section estimation and number sense. It’s a sophisticated and fun method, but best suited for adults who are fluent in English and already have a fairly high grasp of a lot of information.
