Some wrong options are the usual mix-ups. 14 August 1947 in question 1 is Independence Day, not the date of the Resolution; Jhelum in question 9 is the river of Mangla Dam; and English in question 16 is an official language, while Urdu is the national language. Quizoma's results show the accuracy of every question, so a teacher sees straight away which chapter needs another lesson.

Students can use the same set to revise on their own: import it, switch on Show Score and Retake, and it becomes a practice test they can take until every answer sticks.
