What happens after you report a question

The threshold, the automatic withdrawal, and the score recalculation.

Reporting is not a suggestion box. It is wired to the item.

  1. You report a question from the review screen after a sitting, or from a lesson or drill.
  2. The report is recorded against that item.
  3. When reports on an item cross a threshold, it is pulled from circulation automatically — before a human has looked at it.
  4. A human then reviews it. If the item was wrong, scores affected by it are recalculated so nobody is penalised for our mistake.

Why it is automaticLink to the section: Why it is automatic

Because the alternative is a queue, and a queue means a broken question keeps being served to people while it waits. Pulling first and reviewing second costs us a good question occasionally and costs students nothing.

What to includeLink to the section: What to include

Just say what looks wrong. "Two answers work" or "the passage does not support this" is enough. You do not need to be right — you need to be noticing.
