Practice mode is now available in Forms. It’s tailored for EDU users, particularly students, offering a new way for students to review, test, and reinforce their knowledge. Follow me, let’s check out more details of practice mode. You can just try it from this template. (Note: Practice mode is only available for quizzes. ) 

Practice mode

 

Instant feedback after answering each question
In practice mode, questions will be shown one at a time. Students will receive immediate feedback after submitting each question, indicating whether their answer is right or wrong.

Try multiple times for the correct answer
Students can reconsider and try a question multiple times if they answer it incorrectly, facilitating immediate re-learning, and consequently strengthening their grasp of certain knowledge.

Encouragement and autonomy during practice
Students will receive an encouraging message after answering a question, whether their answer is correct or not, giving them a positive practice experience. And They have the freedom to learn at their own pace. If they answer a question incorrectly, they can choose to retry, view the correct answer, or skip this question.

    Hi, Is there a way to turn off the option to show the correct answer in practice mode? It kind of defeats the point of practicing when you are given an option to see the answer after one try.

    I'm a new Forms user and I was looking at the practice quiz option this morning. Is there a setting I'm missing to be able to display customized feedback when students select a particular response? I've entered formative feedback for each potential response in the "Message for those who choose this" field. However, when previewing the quiz, the only feedback I see are the default "Nice try, you're almost there" or "Great effort for progress!" messages. Thanks!
