When you are using the player in test and quiz mode, you cannot check your answers and you usually do not see any learning aids.

When you are practicing, you can check whether you answered the question correctly. You get the player in this mode when you are doing homework or working in your Study Plan. In most courses, the player gives you three chances to answer the question before it tells you the answer.

You use the review mode of the player to look at your answers after you finish an assignment. You get this version player when you choose to review your tests or when you click Review for an assignment on your Results page.

You can check your answer against the correct answer by holding your mouse over the answer. If you are reviewing homework, you usually can see learning aids. If you are reviewing a test, the learning aids are usually hidden.
