Question statement

This example explains how you enter your answers and submit them.

This example and the others are in practice mode - you will be given information on whether or not you have the answer correct or not.

Assessed mode does not give you this information.

It is very important that you submit all your answers. If you do not your results will not be recorded. Note that the list of questions in the exam on the left of the window gives information on whether or not you have completed a question. For each question the marks you have gained by submitting are shown there, so if nothing is shown you have not attempted the question.

Go to the next question. You can then come back. Note that until you quit the exam for good you can go back to any question and change your answers if you want to.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Questions are often split into parts.

In each part you will see various input fields for your answers.

This is the first part and contains one question for you to answer .

It will be clear from the question what you need to enter in each field.

For example, a question could be:

$2+2=\;$ Unnamed gap (enter a number)

You are expected to enter the answer and then press the Submit part button.

Try it. Enter the correct value, note that a box appears showing your input, press Submit part - a tick appears. Brilliant!!

Now enter an incorrect value. Press Submit part and a cross appears. Note the Show feedback button: clicking on that gives a more detailed feedback - in this case there is not much to say!

This is the sort of feedback you get in practice mode.

Try putting in 2+2 as your answer and see what happens as well.

You will be given an error message; click on OK and continue.

So you must be careful and always check that the answer in the input field is what you expect it to be before you move on.

Pressing the Reveal button at the top of the screen gives you the answers for all parts and usually also gives you a full solution for each part. This is only available in practice mode and certainly not available in assessed mode.

Also note that in practice mode you have available a button at the bottom, Try another question like this one. This is useful for you to try other versions of the question. This question is not randomised, so you will get the same one back again!
