Write a practice question

1. Open Practice Item Bank, choose the subject and grade, optionally tap the skill on the left, then tap New item.
2. Question tab: choose the type (Single choice, Multiple answers, Number or Short answer), write the question as the child will read it, and set the difficulty from 1 to 5. Add a picture by uploading it, pasting it (Ctrl+V) or giving a web address.
3. Add a Hint (a nudge, not the answer) and a Worked solution, step by step.
4. Answers tab: mark the correct answer. For each wrong choice, note why a child might pick it. Children see this after answering.
5. Objectives tab: choose the main skill the question tests.
6. Preview tab: try it as a child would. Nothing is recorded.
7. Tap Save & send for review.

Good practice: one skill per question; wrong choices based on real mistakes; Jamaican contexts children know; a mix of easy, medium and hard questions for each skill.
