We're excited to announce that Forms now supports practice mode, enhancing students’ learning process by offering a new way to review, test, and reinforce their knowledge.  Practice mode is only available for quizzes. You can also try out practice mode from this template.

 

Practice mode

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

 

Instant feedback after answering each question

Try multiple times for the correct answer
If students provide an incorrect answer, they will be given the opportunity to reconsider and make another attempt until they arrive at the correct one, allowing for immediate re-learning, and consequently strengthening their grasp of specific knowledge.

 

Try multiple times to get the correct answer

Encouragement and autonomy during practice
Whether students answer a question correctly or not, they will receive an encouraging message, giving them a positive practice experience. And they have the autonomy 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.

 

Encouragement message and other options

Recap questions
Once students finish the practice, they can recap all the questions, along with the correct answers, providing a comprehensive overview to help gauge their overall performance.

Enter practice mode

    Practice mode is really amazing.

    I wish there was a way to have the section titles and subtitles appear.

    There seems to be a problem with branching a quiz with practice mode turned on. If you make a quiz, add branching to it and then turn on practice mode it will not advance/branch to the next question. Instead the "Complete the Practice" button pops up and when clicked an error message pops up in my case it's "2 question(s) need to be completed before submitting: Question 2,Question 3."

    It would be brilliant if when these quizzes are assigned through teams, teachers see the first attempt score rather than the final score after students try multiple times.

    I really appreciate this new function of practice mode, using for own preparation for tests.

    Unfortunately I noted that “shuffle questions” setting doesn’t work in case of “Practice mode” is enabled.

    Does the same happen to you too? Any chance to fix it?
