Does Thinkwell have enough review?

I was looking at samples from the 14 week free lesson plan. It doesn't look like they review at all. Is this a mastery program?

We used Thinkwell Prealgebra and, at least at the time, there was absolutely no review. I would think it would be extremely easy to program in. In fact, they could make it so you check boxes for the sections you want to review and it could generate a review set based on what you select.

 

The lack of review was one of the reasons we moved away from Thinkwell. The other reason was that the problem sets were randomly generated. So there was no gradual working up to the more difficult problems. The first problem in a problem set could be the hardest one in the set and the last one could be the easiest. Very frustrating and unnecessary.

 

My son loved the lectures, but lectures aren't enough.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking just looking at samples. My dd is using TT at the moment. She does not like it at all, but she absolutely needs the built in review. Oh well.....
