            Feedback display scenarios

            Feedback is displayed based on the test settings and the way the assessment is configured. The two primary scenarios include:

            • Practice Mode: When the test is delivered in Practice Mode, feedback will appear after the test-taker submits an answer if it is incorrect.
              • Post-Test Review: If the task settings allow test-takers to review their results, feedback will be shown for incorrectly answered questions after the test is completed.

                Editing Feedback Content

                You can format the feedback text using the built-in editor, which supports rich text, links, images, and multimedia.

                          Why use feedback? 

                          Feedback enhances the learning experience by providing immediate clarification and reinforcement. 

                          It helps test-takers: 
                          • Identify and understand their mistakes. 
                          • Improve retention of correct information.
                          • Gain insights into complex concepts through explanations.
                          • Develop confidence by learning from their errors.

                          By incorporating feedback, assessments become more than just evaluations—they become valuable learning tools.
