Retrieval practice
Viva
No options. You say the answer out loud, commit to it, and only then see the model — beside your own words.
⚠ This is self-marked, and that is the weakest link on this site
A percentage you awarded yourself is a number about your generosity. Two things mitigate it and neither solves it:
- Your own words stay on screen next to the model answer, so you are comparing rather than remembering what you meant.
- The rule's own code terms are matched literally against what you wrote and
shown as hit or missed. It cannot tell whether you were right — but “you never
mentioned
SKIP LOCKED” is a fact, and facts are harder to mark generously than feelings.
Why the answer is hidden until you commit
Retrieval only strengthens a memory when it is genuinely attempted. A button that reveals the model answer while you are still thinking converts the exercise back into reading, which feels productive and is not. So there are two ways forward from a card: answer it, or press “I can't say it” — which grades it 0 before revealing anything.
