The tools in the exam

The exam player has tools that help you read, calculate and answer. Some are always there, and some show up only when your teacher turned them on.

Always there

  • Text view: the round button in the top bar opens a panel with the text size (normal, large or larger), reading-friendly spacing, a reading ruler that highlights one line, and high contrast. Your choice is saved on the device.
  • Cross out: in a multiple-choice question with three or more answers, the "Cross out" button next to the question's number lets you strike out answers you're sure are wrong. It's only for you and doesn't change your score.

When your teacher turned them on

  • Read aloud: the "Read aloud" button at the top of the question reads the question and its answers, and "Slowly" reads more slowly. What is being read is highlighted in yellow, and "Stop reading" stops it.
  • Calculator: the "Calculator" button opens a calculator that stays open next to the question.
  • Dictate: under an open answer's box, "Dictate" lets you say your answer, and it's written in the box. You can correct it as usual.
  • Did you know it, or guess?: under the question, mark "I knew it" or "I guessed". Only your teacher sees it, and it doesn't change your score.
  • Ask the teacher: when your teacher is watching the exam, the raised-hand button sends them a question. The answer shows at the top of the screen.

Notices from your teacher

A notice your teacher sends the class shows at the top of the screen. "Got it" puts it away. When your teacher gives you more time, the clock updates and a "More time" card shows at the top of the screen.

Adaptive quiz

In an adaptive quiz the questions start easy and climb in level. When you pass a level it says, for example, "Up to level 4!", and in a quiz that shows the answers you also see after each answer whether you were right. "End and see my level" ends it at any point, and at the end you see your level. "Try again" starts over.
