I practice math and programming on Khan Academy and in Khan you are given tests for math and such. I recommenced adding a button to completely restart a test because I tend to get some questions wrong and I like the convenience of just being able to quit the test and start from the beginning.
Of course I understand if this sounds unreasonable, I don't mean to come off as rude so my apologies if it does.
Hi Seth,
Thanks for the feedback!
One of the reasons we haven't implemented something like this yet is because it would allow students to completely restart the test every time they get a question wrong in order to get a perfect score. This is something that is very frustrating for teachers, who are trying to get an accurate measure of the students' understanding. Additionally, working through the test multiple times gives you extra practice, which will further strengthen your skills and prevent you from making the same mistakes.
On the other hand, I do understand some students' desires to be able to restart a test after making a typo. If you'd like, you can add your thoughts to this older thread: https://khanacademy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115001114611-Reset-Unit-Tests
@Evan Lewis
Maybe this could be togglable by the teacher in question? Or give a report to the teacher saying how many times (if any) they restarted and there scores
And for other courses that your doing independently (say perfecting highschool for adult learners) this could be in your personal settings
Mistakes in long (and short hard) quizzes have been no end of trouble for me and I would love to see this feature added
