How to enable immediate feedback

This article explains how to show the resulting data to candidates immediately. The feedback should be displayed the moment the student chooses an answer instead of getting it after pressing the “Next” button.

Enabling immediate feedback

Hover over the “Tests” tab in the main menu and select “New test”.

In the second step of creating the “Settings” test, you need to select the following options:

1. “Disable deselect” – Do not allow students to deselect their answers once selected. This applies to the single-choice, multiple-choice, and true/false types of questions.
2. “Enable answer feedback” – Allow the instructor to write feedback and allow a student to read it.
3. “Enable immediate answer feedback” – Display answer feedback below the answer as soon as the candidate clicks on an answer instead of a dialog after clicking on the Next button. This option can be enabled only if the “Disable deselect” option is enabled and only applies to the single-choice, multiple-choice, and true/false types of questions.

Single-choice type of question

If the above-mentioned options are enabled, you can configure the single-choice type question using the following options:

1. “Second try” – If enabled, a student will be given a second chance to answer this question if they choose this answer, and they will be penalized according to the scoring method. This is intended to be used on a single incorrect answer. If the answer feedback is not defined, the candidate will get the default message “Please try again“. This option only works when the “Disable deselect” option is enabled. For more about this option, read this article.
