How to Use the Question Tagging System on Bootcamp
Key Takeaway

Bootcamp automatically tags questions you answer as Mastered (green) or Learning (red). Change a tag to Reviewing (yellow) if you're unsure, then filter by your tags when creating a test to focus on what you need to review.

    Science is a tricky subject to review due to the volume and complexity of information. Simply knowing you got a question correct isn't enough to grasp if you know the concept for test day, or need extra review.

    To help with this, we built a question tagging system to rate how well you understand a question during review.

    Bootcamp's question tagging system: learning, reviewing, mastered, and bookmarked

    By tagging your questions, you can mark which questions you want to revisit to review later. You’ll avoid wasting time studying things you already know, and more time on things you need to review.

    What do the tags mean?

    If you get a question correct, skim the explanation to verify you got it right for the correct reasons.

    • Learning (red): You got it wrong, or don't understand it and need to revisit it again.
    • Reviewing (yellow): You guessed correctly, or you're not totally confident in remembering the concept.
    • Mastered (green): You got it right for the correct reasons and feel confident in answering questions like that.

    Note: Bootcamp will automatically tag correct questions as Mastered (green) and incorrect as Learning (red) for you.

    How can I review my tagged questions?

    You can filter by your question tags, as well as your bookmarked questions, when creating a test:

    Note: Quick Start uses your Unused questions first. Once you've used every question, it starts pulling from your tagged questions.

    How do I make the most out of my studying using the tagging system?

    Some of our top students share their advice:

    • “Anytime I had a question that I got wrong or wasn’t 100% positive about, I tagged it and bookmarked it.”
    • “I really liked the tagging tool…I would recommend bookmarking to everyone!”
    • “I used the reviewing tool a lot and I thought it was helpful…I would recommend students to mark for reviewing…”
    • “I would usually redo the questions I tagged as reviewing/learning the day after I took a practice test. It also helped me notice what my weak areas were. I would definitely recommend students use this tool, it benefited me a lot and helped make my studying more efficient!”
