Nice offer, but ...
Try Again Now
Double Drats! Some instructors set up a penalty for missing. If you miss too many questions and appear to be randomly guessing, your game will end. That’s what has happened to you. Your results have been saved but you would have to start over from ground zero.
Choose an option:
No Thanks. I’ve Had Enough For Now.
But don’t despair. You can do this! You may need to …
1. Use our Tutorial pages or Videos.
2. Refer to class notes or handouts.
3. Go slower. Read more carefully.
4. Change your thinking about this concept.
5. Take a break and try again later.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed this activity.
