Final Examination

Forty questions cover everything decoded across the course, hearing terms spoken aloud and reading them as visible word parts. Read the instructions below before starting.

Final: Decode the dialogue

There are 40 questions. You may replay audio twice. Spelling is not scored unless you are assembling visible word-part tiles.

  • 36 to 40: transfer mastery
  • 32 to 35: course mastery
  • 24 to 31: developing; review the suggested cards and retry
  • 0 to 23: rebuild the foundation; no penalty and no locked content
