One assessment question is displayed at a time
A “Previous” button allows educators to revisit questions before they submit the assessment.
There are multiple versions of each question, similar in difficulty level and measuring the same objective.
Second attempts on Checks for Understanding and Unit Assessments will display a different version of each question.
Posttests include different versions of each question from Pretests.
New questions were created and reviewed by LETRS content experts. (None of the questions were generated using AI.)
