# Why is an Empatyzer quiz question about an earlier lesson, not the one I am reading?

Empatyzer’s quiz questions are designed for active recall: they deliberately check earlier lessons or how well you know your own traits, instead of asking you to repeat the text on screen.

Bringing knowledge back from memory at intervals helps it stick better than simply rereading it. Each question is multiple choice; most lessons have one, some have two.

## Also asked as

- quiz asks about a previous lesson
- quiz question doesn’t match the lesson
- why is the test about something else
- active recall in Empatyzer
