Learners often confuse "progression" with "progress". "Progress" is more common and can be used as a verb ("to progress") or a noun. "Progression" is only a noun and usually sounds more formal, often used with "of" ("the progression of the illness", "the progression of her career"). Avoid saying *"I made a good progression"*; say "I made good progress" instead.
