The little TV like, green, monitor screens on your ‘Go’ homepage tell you how far you are advancing through the COM system. You have to completely pass a level to make the number change. That means you have to have three passes, in-a-row, to make a change in the percentage number.

Your scores are automatically transported over the internet and stored in a section of our database reserved for you. If you let someone else do one of your exercises then their scores will go into your database. This could cause you to pass a task when you shouldn’t or a failing score could make you have to start a task over again at zero. Never let anyone do your exercises!

Once you have a subscription, you can do your COM enhancement exercises from anywhere in the world that you have access to an internet computer. Just go to our website and login. The system will immediately recognize you, no matter what computer you used. This means you can do COM from the Public Library, an Internet Cafe, at school, at home or at grandma’s — if grandma has an internet computer! Any computer that you use does have to have the most recent Flash Player plugin installed, however. If it doesn’t then you can download and install it free from www.adobe.com or just click the link on our homepage.
