When does Kwiziq Move You To A1?

I've been following the Kwiziq recommended study plan and have mastered the level A0 topics. I've managed to get my score to 100% for the entire A0 level. However, Kwiziq still recommends level A0 lessons no matter how many tests I take. Will Kwiziq eventually start putting level A1 lessons into my study plan? Or do I have to do something to toggle it?

Thank you.

Faster audio?

Is there any way of speeding up the audio to something more akin to proper speech?

"sortir" - it has both verb intransitive and transitive - can we use 2 voiced for "to be released/published" ?Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière.The new James Bond was released last week.
On peut aussi exprimer la même chose ("...was released last week") avec la voix passive ?: "Le nouveau James Bond a été sorti semaine dernière"

Too many hints

Hi, I think there are too many hints in many of these exercises (including this one). Specifically, the type of hint that tells you what word or words to use. These prevent you from making your own attempt. Personally, I’d remove these.

Parle-m'en

In english (maybe just NZ?) we use the expression "tell me about it" as a sort of ironic way of saying that you share not-so-good experiences with someone. eg. Speaker 1 - it was so hot last night, I couldn't sleep. Speaker 2 - tell me about it (meaning I had the same experience). Is Parle-m'en used the same way?

Two answers correct, but only one given

My comment is similar to Elizabeth's, so I hope your response will also be similar.

My answer to...

À ce moment-là, les étoiles ________ dans le ciel.

was "sont apparus". This is wrong because I didn't know that étoiles is feminine. But the only correction given was "ont apparu".

One or other

In one of the tests the answer included « choose one or the other. » We would normally say « Choose one or other (of them). » ‘The one’ or ‘the other’, sounds clunky even if grammatical. :)

Last time he came, he didn’t behave himself.

I continually get tripped up with this. I interpret the statement as being the last (previous) time so I enter ‘la fois dernière’ which is marked as incorrect. If the correct answer is ‘la dernière fois’ what is it about the statement that tells me that it’s the last (final) time?

Passive Voice acceptable?For the question: Titanic was released in 1998

is 'Titanic a été sorti en 1998' a possible correct answer?

If not, why not?

If so, what's the difference (compared with the correct answer given: Titanic est sorti en 1998)?
