Instead of automatic grades or points, we use a self-assessment system that allows you to consciously track your progress and adjust your learning pace.<\/p>\n\n<p>After each answer, click \u201cCheck\u201d and compare your response with the model answer. Then rate yourself by choosing one of three options:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>I know<\/strong> (green face\/emoticon) \u2013 your answer was completely correct and given confidently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Almost<\/strong> (yellow face\/emoticon) \u2013 your answer was close to correct, or you weren\u2019t entirely sure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>I don\u2019t know<\/strong> (red face\/emoticon) \u2013 you didn\u2019t know the answer or it was significantly different from the correct one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>How you rate yourself affects how the SuperMemo method works \u2013 the algorithm will schedule your next review at the optimal time before you forget the material.<\/p>\n\n<p>Self-assessment mainly applies to Q&amp;A-type exercises (question and answer). In other types of exercises (e.g., multiple choice), the app automatically evaluates your response, but you can manually change it \u2013 for instance, if there was a typo or you clicked the button by mistake.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Remember:<\/strong> the effectiveness of the method depends on honest self-assessment and consistency. The SuperMemo algorithm works best when you learn regularly and follow the suggested reviews.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"template":"","faq_category":[1925],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is self-assessment in SuperMemo?
