What happens during a Practice test?

From answering questions to reviewing your mark scheme, here's the full flow of a Practice test.

Once you start a Practice test, here's what to expect from the first question through to your results.

Answering a question

Practice tests mix different question types, including Multiple choice, Select all that apply, and Written answer questions marked against a mark scheme. Each question shows a running timer, your current Hints balance, and how many marks it's worth.

Stuck on a question? Tap Hint for a clue, this uses one of your Hints.

Once you've answered every question, tap Complete test to see your results.

Seeing your results

Finishing a test shows your rewards straight away, including the XP you earned. Tap Continue to see your full results.

Your results show your score as a percentage, how long the test took, and the topic it covered (for example WW2). Tap Take a new test to try again.

Reviewing your answers

Scroll down to Your answers to see how you did on each question:

  • Correct: the answer you picked is highlighted in green

  • Incorrect: your answer is highlighted in red under Your answer, with the Correct answer shown underneath so you can see where you went wrong

  • Written answers show how many marks you scored out of the total, along with the Mark scheme so you can see exactly what earned marks and what you missed

Use the All, Correct and Partially correct tabs to filter your answers.

On any answer, you can:
