Students practise live, with instant feedback

In a normal session, yes: right or wrong and the points appear as each answer is submitted. In SBQ mode every answer is still marked, but students see only "Answer recorded" until you release the results.

A correct answer earns the question's full marks on the first try and half of them, rounded up, on the second try; after that it earns none. A wrong answer never takes marks away. In SBQ mode each question has one answer, worth full marks or none.

Yes, in a normal session. A one-tap help flag lets a student signal they're stuck so you can step in without them calling out. In SBQ mode help requests are switched off.

That depends on Free navigation, which you choose when you start the session. With it on, students move between questions themselves. With it off, they work through the questions in order, and you can move the whole class to a particular question.

Each student sees the questions, and the options within multiple-choice questions, in their own order. It is on by default. Turn it off when you want every student to see the same order, for example when you read the questions aloud.

SBQ stands for School Based Quiz. SBQ mode is for a quiet, one-attempt quiz. Each student answers every question once and cannot go back; ticking SBQ mode also switches Shuffle and Require full screen on (you can untick either). They see "Answer recorded" rather than right or wrong, and help requests and retakes are switched off. The quiz runs under quiz conditions: copying the questions is turned off, students are told that you can see if they leave the page or copy a question, and you see which answers were given after they did. When the session has closed, you release the results to students from the Live Session page. With Teacher Plus or the School plan you can also release or hide them from your class reports.

Require full screen can be switched on or off at any time during the session. Free navigation, Shuffle and SBQ mode are set when you start the session and stay the same until it ends. SBQ mode cannot be combined with Free navigation, because in SBQ mode students cannot go back to a question.

iPads and iPhones are never asked to use full screen, because Safari interrupts typing in full-screen websites. A student leaving the page on those devices is still shown as away. Any device that cannot enter full screen carries on without it, and you can exempt any student.

SBQ mode discourages it and shows it to you: copying is turned off, students are told what you can see, and an answer is flagged when the student was away from the page for 5 seconds or more in total, or tried to copy the question, while it was on screen. On iPads, you can also require Safe Exam Browser, which locks the iPad to the quiz until you end the session. No website can stop a photo taken with a phone, so phones away still matters. See quiz conditions and Safe Exam Browser for the details.

If engagement means every student answering and getting feedback during the lesson, yes. Each student answers on their own device and, in a normal session, sees straight away whether they are right. ClassKite has no games, points or leaderboards.

Yes, a free one, with their own email address. A student creates it when they first join a class with its code. Or you import a class list, and ClassKite creates the accounts with a first-time password that each student changes when they first sign in. Students never pay.
