Why is a percentage not enough?

Three students, one score

Student A

62%

Does not remember the concept.

Recall · Needs work

Fix: Re-learn the idea, then rematch.

Student B

62%

Remembers it, cannot apply it.

Application · Developing

Fix: Worked problems, not more reading.

Student C

62%

Applies it, fails on a new pattern.

Higher-order · Developing

Fix: Unfamiliar problems under a clock.

Every question is tagged with the kind of thinking it demands — so the report says which kind failed.

In plain words

Three students, all at 62 per cent. A does not remember the concept. B remembers it but cannot apply it. C can apply it but fails when the pattern is new. Same marks, three different remedies — and a percentage cannot tell them apart. For a parent, this is the difference between “study more” and knowing what to study.
