Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to take a quiz?
The new Foundation Challenge does not require a login. Other existing quiz formats may have different settings.
How are quiz results calculated?
The plugin-free pilot awards one point per correct answer and displays your percentage, answers and scientific explanations at the end. Future quizzes may use different scoring rules, which will be stated on each quiz page.
Do quizzes count as professional competency assessments?
No. These are educational self-checks. They do not replace supervised practical training, laboratory validation, formal proficiency testing or competency assessments.
Will more forensic science quizzes be added?
Ten topic quizzes and three advanced simulated case challenges are now available. Additional reviewed topics and case-based assessments will be linked here when published.
