Notes, Tips, and Considerations
- Text Blocks: When using an Alchemer page, you have the ability to add additional information in text blocks. This can be helpful if you need to separate information, add images, or give directions for a specific question, etc.
- Best Practice: Create a test learner so you can sign in as a learner and take the test to get the full learner experience. Refine your page settings based on your experience as a test learner.
