Tips for Getting the Most Out Of Learn Mode

  1. Actively Read the “Why” (Don’t Just Look at “Right/Wrong”) 
    • When you receive immediate feedback, the most valuable part is not whether you got it right, but why the correct answer is correct. Read the explanation carefully, even when you get it right, to confirm your reasoning matched the learning objective. 
  2. Treat Mistakes as Immediate Lessons
    • In Learn Mode, a mistake is not a failure; it is an immediate opportunity to correct a misconception. When you get a question wrong, take a moment to understand the “wrongness” of your answer before moving on, as this active, immediate correction makes it easier to remember the right answer in the future. 
  3. Actively Challenge the Distractors
    • Don’t just look for the correct answer; look at the incorrect options (distractors) and understand why they are incorrect. This helps sharpen your ability to distinguish between similar, but incorrect, concepts in a real-world scenario. 
  4. Re-engage with Content Instantly
    • If the feedback reveals a gap in your knowledge, don’t just click “Next.” Take advantage of the immediacy to look back at the training material—a slide, a document, or a video—while the question is still fresh in your mind. 
  5. Take Notes on “Corrective Feedback”
    • Maintain a “mistake log” or note-taking area. When the quiz explains why your answer was wrong, jot down the correct rationale. This transforms the immediate feedback into a study guide you can review before your final “Exam Mode” quiz. 
  6. Treat It as a “Study Session,” Not a “Test” 
    • Approach Learn Mode with a growth mindset. Because you are getting the answers immediately, there is no need to feel anxious about getting it wrong. Focus entirely on using the quiz to bridge the gap between what you thought you knew and what you actually need to know.
