Introduction

The activity reviewer in GradeChum helps you prepare for an activity with a reviewer your teacher released. You can revisit the key concepts it covers with flashcards and a written summary, then check how ready you are with a practice test. It is a way to study ahead and feel ready when the activity arrives.

Your practice test scores never count toward your grade, and you can retake the practice test as many times as you want. In this section, let's explore what you can do with an activity reviewer.

Steps

To view and use the activity reviewer, read the instructions below:

1. Open your class. On the activity your teacher released the reviewer of, click Start reviewing. If you have opened it before, the link reads Continue review. View Activity Reviewer opens.

2. Under Quick Review Flashcards, read the concept on the flashcard. Then click the flashcard to flip it and reveal its explanation. You can also flip it by pressing Enter or Space.

3. Click the arrows below the flashcard to go to the next or previous flashcard until you are done reviewing. The count between them, such as 2/2, shows where you are.

4. If you want to review without the flashcards, scroll down and read every concept under Reviewer Summary.

5. At the bottom, beside Ready to test your understanding?, Total Attempts is how many times you have taken the practice test, and Best Score is your highest score. Best Score reads N/A until you submit a practice test for the first time. Click Take the practice test.

6. Read each question and choose one answer. Each question shows its number and its points. Your answers save as you choose them. Click the flag beside a question you want to come back to. Its tooltip reads Flag this item, and Remove flag once the question is flagged.

7. To jump to a question, click its number under Item Navigation. On a phone or a small tablet, open the list with the button in the bottom bar.

8. When you are done answering, click Submit all and finish. The Submit all and finish? modal tells you your answers will be graded, but you can retake this as many times as you want. Click Submit all and finish to see your score.

9. Finally, your Score shows out of the total points. Click Retake practice test to start a new practice test, or Back to class to go back to your class's activities.

The heading on the score screen tells you how you did:

• Perfect score! means you got every practice question right.
• You passed means you got at least half of the points.
• Tough luck... means you got less than half of the points. Your practice score never counts toward your grade, so study the reviewer again and retake the practice test.

If something does not work as expected

• "Your teacher did not release the reviewer for this activity yet." on an activity card means your teacher has not released the reviewer. It disappears if your teacher releases the activity's results without releasing a reviewer.
• A mock board activity has no reviewer.
• An online activity shows its reviewer only until you have a result for it.
• If Submit all and finish is disabled with "You are offline. Connect to a stable network to submit your answers.", connect to the internet and try again.
• If submitting fails, you stay on the questions and GradeChum shows an error message. Your answers are saved, so click Submit all and finish again.
• To leave the practice test without submitting, click Go back to Activity Reviewer at the top.
• Total Attempts and Best Score update when you come back with Back to class.
