Feedback & Explanations

When creating your Exams, you have the option set a certain level of Feedback and/or Explanations to be given regarding the questions once a member has completed an Exam.

Feedback – will show whether they got an answer right or wrong. It will show the question and the answer they submitted.

Explanations – you can set an explanation for your questions when you create them, such as a hint for the question should it have been answered incorrectly.

  1. Show Exam Feedback and Show Explanations (All Answers) – this will ensure that, when a member completes an exam, they will be provided with ‘Feedback’ (whether they answered right or wrong) for all of the questions. Any ‘Explanations’ you have included for any of the questions within the exam will also be shown, including for questions that were answered correctly;
  2. Show Exam Feedback and Show Explanations (Wrong Answers) - this will ensure that, when a member completes an exam, they will be provided with ‘Feedback’ (whether they answered right or wrong) for all of the answers. Any ‘Explanations’ you have included for any of the questions they answered incorrectly within the exam will also be shown;
  3. Show Exam Feedback and Hide Explanations – ‘Feedback’ (whether they answered right or wrong) will be shown for all answers, but no ‘Explanations’ given;
  4. Hide Exam Feedback and Hide Explanations – no additional information will be provided regarding their answers upon completion.
