How we measured this
Based on every marked station attempt on MLAbuddy, September 2026. A score is the checklist percentage from each attempt's marking.
New stations: candidates who have done 10 or more different stations. We compared the average of their first three stations (62.9%) with their 8th to 10th (69.3%), counting only first attempts, so no station is counted twice.
Retries: second attempts at the same station; 61% scored higher than the first time.
These are averages from candidates who chose to practise, not a controlled trial, and not exam results.
