Occasionally I use my web browser to check and verify definitions in one window while a window is open for a test (multiple choice, Moodle). I wondered WHY I picked such a poor answer on a few previous tests and I just discovered the reason! When you left-click on the window you want to work in, doing so on the Moodle page MAY change your answer selection to correspond to your mouse pointer location. So although you are on say, problem 5, if you click on an area to the right of perhaps problem 9 on the Moodle page to switch back, and you HAD answer A, the new answer may be switched to D, since your cursor was close to the wording, but certainly not the inside the circle.
Recheck your answers to make sure you don't accidentally change an answer you were not even working on! I suspect I triple, or quadruple check now :-)
:D I read that title, as "Smashing Windows When Taking Tests" and got really worried for a minute.
Hi Richard,
This also happened to me when I was taking the course. I made myself a backup of sorts by writing down my answer to each question and then double-checking my answers before I hit the final submit button.
I guess the silver lining is knowing you had the correct answer the first time.

I found when doing a Moodle test, if I arrow down to move the page it changes my answer. Now I always write my answers on paper first then enter them from the paper. I always check them again before submitting the test.
This happened to me on my last patho test... but, like Instructor Kristi said, at least you know that you were actually correct! :)
