After every tutoring session in SolveWise, you’ll take a short mastery quiz. The quiz checks whether you actually understood the math — not whether you can copy the same steps from the walkthrough. This is what makes SolveWise different from just reading a solution online.

What the quiz tests

The quiz focuses on the reasoning behind the steps, not the specific numbers from your homework problem. For example, if you just worked through a problem about solving for x in a two-step equation, a quiz question might be:
“Why do we perform the same operation on both sides of an equation?”
or
“What is the first step in solving 4x - 3 = 13?”
This means you can’t pass the quiz just by memorizing the answer to the problem you submitted — you need to understand the concept.

How long quizzes take

A typical quiz has 3–5 questions and takes 2–4 minutes. The questions are multiple choice or short answer.

What happens if you don’t pass

If you miss questions on the quiz, SolveWise shows you the correct answers with brief explanations. Your parent’s dashboard will reflect which topics need more practice, and they may assign targeted practice problems for those areas. You can retake quizzes by submitting similar problems and completing the session again. There’s no penalty for not passing — the quiz is a learning tool, not a grade.
Quiz results are visible to your parent in the dashboard. They show which concepts are solid and which ones need more work — this is how your parent knows where to focus extra practice.

How quizzes affect your mastery score

Passing quizzes is what increases your mastery score — the main metric your parent sees. Submitting lots of problems without taking quizzes seriously will not improve your mastery score. The mastery score represents real understanding, confirmed by quiz performance, not time spent on the platform.

Quiz controls

Your parent can adjust quiz settings from the parent dashboard — for example, if you have a learning accommodation that requires extended time or different question formats. Contact support@solvewise.org if you need accommodations not available in the current settings.
