Update: Introducing bonus questions!

Thank you, that sounds very helpful.

Is that the change that caused the weird fonts a few hours ago?  It would be great if Khan Academy had a place we could look to see if there were site issues - I thought it was a problem on my end, and closed down everything on my computer to reboot.  Even just a post about the temporary issue somewhere in the Support Community would help, and would only take someone 5 minutes or less to make.
Are there any plans to put up temporary notices like that when the website is having issues?

Addendum 4/24/2025:
I learned from someone official in KA that usually updates about major outages will appear in a bright blue a banner at the top of the site and also be posted on the status page. (There is no permanent link on the KA website to the status page.)  Maybe that did not happen this time because it was fixed within a couple hours and was rather minor (though confusing).

Personally, I wish they would take 2 minutes to at least update the status page, and that there were a permanent link on the KA website to the status page.

I made a post asking that it be easier for users to know about significant issues on the KA website.  Please add your thoughts

Yes I agree, a small button on the home screen could show if there are any issue with the site

Cool feature, sounds very helpful. It's happened quite a lot that I get all the problems correct on a practice exercise, but on the very last problem, I get it wrong, and poof! now I have to redo the entire exercise all over again. In my opinion it does feel a little lenient to get 4 out of 5 correct and still be proficient. Maybe the bonus question could have some extra difficulty to balance it out.

Hello, love the new update but can I please not be prompted to keep going for the bonus question when it is simply not available for the specific exercise, it would make restarting a lot less annoying, please and thank you.

It's great and all but not all of us want a perfect grade, is this atleast skipable? (Sorry if it sounds rude, not intended) I have a question? Is there ever going to be a dark mode? I know to take breaks but it takes up time when I could be completing classes i missed, and after a while of looking at the white screen hurts my eyes.

OH MY GOODNESS! I'm so so happy you added this. As a homeschooled student, as well as a perfectionist, I would get so frustrated if I got the answer wrong on the last one! This is absolutely a need and I love it!! If I had this sooner I would've been a lot farther along, and would be less frustrated at error. Though I know failing is normal, getting the questions perfect without room for mistakes made it a lot less approachable.

Thank you Khan Academy Team!  (≧◡≦) ♡ 

For the unit tests, can we have the start over added if we miss a question? There aren't any bonus questions for them, so when I get 1 question wrong I have to intentionally fail the following question so I can start over.

Sounds like a good idea for when you miss a question at the end of the problem set, but if you have the bad luck to miss the first or second problem, then you still have the same pressure for the rest of the set, so nothing changes unless you miss towards the end. And forbidding students to restart after they miss the first problem? Kind of annoying, to be completely honest.
