How this works

Answer every question. Select-all questions are marked all-or-nothing — ticking every box scores zero, not partial credit.
Submit once. You will see which you got right, and an explanation for every question including the ones you answered correctly.
Your score is recorded beside your progress. It does not unlock or revoke anything — marking this tutorial complete stays your call, before or after the quiz.
Retake it whenever you like. Every attempt is kept, so improving over three tries is visible rather than overwritten.
