Answering questions

All the questions appear on one page — scroll down to work through them, or use the Question 1 – 10 menu at the top to jump around. Click an answer to select it (you can change it before you submit). Each question has thumbs-up/down buttons to give feedback on the question and a bookmark to flag it.

When you're done, click Grade Test at the top right. Kai grades your assessment in a few seconds.

Your results

Depending on how your teacher set up the assignment, you'll see your results right away or after the due date:

  • Your score and how many questions were correct, incorrect and skipped.

  • A summary of your Strengths, Areas of Improvement and a Follow-Up suggestion, with links to the questions they refer to.

  • Every question with the correct answer highlighted and an Explain why button for a detailed explanation.

If your teacher allowed more than one attempt, click Retake the test (or press R). Use the Session dropdown to look back at earlier attempts.

Note: If your score doesn't appear right after you submit, your teacher chose to release grades and answers after the due date — check back then.
