Comprehension

For this exercise, students must answer a series of multiple-choice comprehension questions. For language subjects, they will answer questions as they watch a video.

In some ways the most challenging exercise, comprehensions are designed to test students’ understanding of the unit they've completed, and for languages, to test their general understanding of the target language in context.

As with all of the exercises on the site, comprehensions are automatically marked, meaning that students get instant feedback on their performance. Perfect for independent work!
