Fill-in the blank questions need you to type in your answer, so they give you a box to type it in. The computer will have a list of answers that are correct and your answer must match one of them exactly to be graded as right. The computer can't guess what you meant to say, it can only grade you on what you typed in the answer box. This means that you need to follow the instructions carefully and spell words correctly.
1. Point your mouse at the fill-in box and click or, on a tablet, tap the fill-in box.
• The flashing text cursor (tall thin line) should appear in the fill-in box. Now you are ready to type your answer, but read the question and any instructions carefully before answering.
2. Type your answer.
• The instructions will tell you if it is necessary to press the [Enter] key ([Return] on the Macintosh) before going on the the next page.
3. Select the Go Forward button on the toolbar (see the toolbar pictured below).
• Test Question - You move on to the next question page. During the test you can return to any question to review or change your answer. Your answers will be graded after you have finished the test. You can see your test score in your Progress reports.
• Practice Problem - Practice questions are graded right away. If your answer was CORRECT then you will see the next page of the lesson. If your answer was INCORRECT you may return to the practice problem and have another chance to answer it.
Hint - Sometimes the computer says your answer was wrong, but you are sure it was right. You need to carefully reread the question and instructions. Also, think about what you were studying on the pages before the practice problem, then answer the problem again.
