They are also shown all possible correct answers to a question. We think it's really important that students get that feedback immediately, so misunderstandings don't stay in their minds any longer than they have to. In paper-based homework, the misconception stays in the student's mind until they get their book marked by a teacher. If they have a question about one of the answers, they can submit it right away by clicking “Disagree with mark”, rather than forgetting about it before the next class. In the example below the student has given the correct answer, although though they've spelled it wrong. Educake accepts spelling mistakes of up to two characters wrong.

This means that in addition to being told if their answer is correct, they get an explanation of the correct answer. The explanation can correct misconceptions when they occur, and walk students through any thinking or workings out required to get to the correct answer so they're better equipped to do it themselves next time. Below is an example of how the answer feedback and explanation look to a student: [![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/735370569/9cf3ecbfb29b5b4efc26ce93/Capture.PNG?expires=1772703900&signature=3b567074d7d106e38595de6b36fd6252f770207bd655b2124f4e3f06340e014d&req=cyMiFc5%2BmIdWFb4f3HP0gNHFd9F%2Br5NFR4VPqB%2FWUZG29Lu9ZtVCanO7WexO%0AgR5%2FDHC6UsPpwjuQkw%3D%3D%0A)](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/735370569/9cf3ecbfb29b5b4efc26ce93/Capture.PNG?expires=1772703900&signature=3b567074d7d106e38595de6b36fd6252f770207bd655b2124f4e3f06340e014d&req=cyMiFc5%2BmIdWFb4f3HP0gNHFd9F%2Br5NFR4VPqB%2FWUZG29Lu9ZtVCanO7WexO%0AgR5%2FDHC6UsPpwjuQkw%3D%3D%0A)   - [What is Educake?](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started with Educake](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#getting-started-with-educake) - [Educake subjects and revision resources](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#educake-subjects-and-revision-resources) - [Impact and evidence](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#impact-and-evidence) - [Careers](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-is-educake?hsLang=en#careers) - [Creating and Managing Student Accounts](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Adding students](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#adding-students) - [Managing existing student accounts](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#managing-existing-student-accounts) - [Login, usernames and passwords](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#login-usernames-and-passwords) - [Single sign-on (SSO)](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#single-sign-on-sso) - [Managing students with your MIS and Wonde](http://help.educake.co.uk/creating-and-managing-student-accounts?hsLang=en#managing-students-with-your-mis-and-wonde) - [Setting and Reviewing Quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Creating and setting quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#creating-and-setting-quizzes) - [Viewing quiz results and reports](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#viewing-quiz-results-and-reports) - [Sharing and distributing quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#sharing-and-distributing-quizzes) - [Managing your quizzes](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#managing-your-quizzes) - [Data analysis tools](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#data-analysis-tools) - [Quiz troubleshooting](http://help.educake.co.uk/setting-and-reviewing-quizzes?hsLang=en#quiz-troubleshooting) - [What Do Students See?](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-do-students-see?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How answers are marked](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-do-students-see?hsLang=en#how-answers-are-marked) - [The student experience](http://help.educake.co.uk/what-do-students-see?hsLang=en#the-student-experience) - [Using Educake as a Student](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Logging in](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#logging-in) - [Quizzes and revision](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#quizzes-and-revision) - [Staying safe online](http://help.educake.co.uk/using-educake-as-a-student?hsLang=en#staying-safe-online) - [Subscriptions and Payment](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Free trials](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#free-trials) - [Pricing and payment](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#pricing-and-payment) - [Managing your subscription](http://help.educake.co.uk/subscriptions-and-payment?hsLang=en#managing-your-subscription) - [Technical Stuff](http://help.educake.co.uk/technical-stuff?hsLang=en) - [Known issues](http://help.educake.co.uk/known-issues?hsLang=en) - [Data, Privacy and GDPR](http://help.educake.co.uk/data-privacy-and-gdpr?hsLang=en) - [Terms and Conditions](http://help.educake.co.uk/terms-and-conditions?hsLang=en) [![educake\_logo\_lengthways\_purple](https://help.educake.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Logos%20and%20Branding/educake_logo_lengthways_purple.png?width=258&height=80&name=educake_logo_lengthways_purple.png "educake_logo_lengthways_purple")](https://www.educake.co.uk) [www.educake.co.uk](https://educake.co.uk/) [mailto:support@educake.co.uk](mailto:support@educake.co.uk) Copyright © 2026, Educake Ltd
