INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT
P2A uses an interactive “feedback” system to target instructional content where students need it most. Here’s how P2A’s feedback system works.

Just like the actual CAHSEE, incorrect answer choices in P2A are based on common student errors and gaps in knowledge. Each time a student selects an incorrect answer choice, the student receives instructional feedback directly related to his or her error.

Each student who selects an incorrect answer is provided with customized feedback and prompted to try the question again. If the student responds incorrectly a second time, more detailed feedback guides the student through a detailed explanation of the solution.

P2A’s feedback-based learning system makes P2A more than just a tool for CAHSEE practice. P2A’s feedback-based learning system makes P2A a tool for standards-based mastery of CAHSEE content.

Feedback for choice A: Try again. 7 is the mode not the median.
Feedback for choice B: Correct!
Feedback for choice C: Try again. Be sure to include both 7's when you figure out the median.
Feedback for choice D: Try again. 8.5 is the mean, not the median.
