Revise mode

When you fail a quiz, you don’t have to slog through the whole thing again from scratch. Revise mode shows you only the questions you got wrong — with the correct answers — so you can focus on the gap before retaking.

When it’s available

After failing a quiz, the results screen shows two options:

  • Retake the full quiz — start over from question 1, all questions
  • Revise — work through only the wrong questions

Tap Revise to enter revise mode.

What revise mode shows

You see each question you got wrong, one at a time, with:

  • The question text
  • Your wrong answer (so you remember what you put)
  • The correct answer (highlighted)
  • For MCQ: which option was right + a brief explanation if one was provided
  • For fill-in-the-blank: the right answer in green
  • For matching: every pair shown correctly
  • For oral: the model answer + which keywords you missed

Cycle through. There’s no quiz scoring in revise mode — you’re studying, not testing.

When you’re done revising

Tap Retake quiz at the end of revise mode. You go back to the full quiz from question 1.

The full quiz includes both the questions you got wrong AND the ones you got right. You’ll re-answer everything. There’s no “shortcut quiz” of just the wrong questions.

Why retake the full thing: a quiz score reflects your knowledge of the whole module, not just the gaps. Wisteria wants a clean pass that says “you know this module,” not “you know the parts you bothered to relearn.”

How wrong answers are saved

When you submit a quiz, Wisteria stores:

  • Which questions you answered
  • Whether you got each right or wrong
  • For wrong ones: what you put vs the correct answer

This is what powers revise mode. The data is saved per-attempt, so if you retake and get different ones wrong, the next revise reflects the latest attempt.

What revise mode is NOT

  • Not a re-test. You don’t get scored.
  • Not optional content. You see only what you got wrong; nothing else from the module.
  • Not the only path. You can skip revise mode and retake the full quiz directly if you’d prefer.

When to use revise vs retake

SituationRecommendation
Got 6/10, failed at 7/10 thresholdRevise — fix the 4 you missed and pass on retake
Got 3/10Retake full — clearly didn’t absorb the material; review the deck first
Got 6/10, failed at 8/10 thresholdReview the deck, then revise, then retake — close to passing but the bar is higher
Failed by a tiny margin (e.g. 1 question on a 70% threshold)Revise that one question, retake immediately

In general: revise mode is for narrow fails. Wide fails mean you should re-do the flashcards too.

After passing on retake

The module is marked Completed. Your previous failures are recorded in your quiz history but don’t count against you — Wisteria scores you on your best attempt, not your worst.

For compliance customers: every attempt is auditable, including the failed ones. The auditable record shows the full attempt history.

What if you fail revise + retake repeatedly

If you’ve taken the quiz 3+ times and still can’t pass:

  • Re-do the flashcards. Sometimes the deck has content you missed.
  • Ask your trainer. They can check the quiz isn’t broken (mis-marked correct answer, ambiguous fill-in expectation).
  • Take a break. Quiz fatigue is real — coming back fresh sometimes helps.

There’s no maximum-attempts cap. Wisteria won’t lock you out for failing many times.

On mobile

Revise mode is the same on phone as on desktop. Tap to advance through questions. Tap Retake quiz at the end.
