check_practice_answer

Use this when the learner has chosen an answer to a CertArc practice question. Returns whether it is correct, the correct option and CertArc's explanation for every option. A confident wrong answer is a blind spot. Does not record anything.

get_result_review

Use this when the connected learner asks what happened in one sprint or exam: which answers were Incorrect, their confidence, miss reasons, domains, knowledge areas and time per answer, with that take's breakdown by domain, knowledge area, confidence, miss reason and pace, on a retake how each answer moved from Take 1 (Fixed, Slipped, Still missed, Right both times), whether the module can be retaken now (modes, what blocks it, when it unlocks) and the review still to do, as its CertArc result page decides. Takes a module as listed in the learner's results, and optionally take 1 or 2 (default latest). Answer facts only, never question text or answers; includes a link to the full review in CertArc.

Returns each completed one by its CertArc name with Take 1 and Take 2 scores (mode, correct, percent, date), the current composite, after a retake the movement (Breakthroughs, Persisted, Regressions, net change) and mastery, sessions in progress with answered counts, and what the Final Readiness Assessment still needs before it unlocks.

get_study_patterns

Use this when the connected learner asks why they miss questions, where their blind spots are, how their confidence matches their results, or which domains are weakest. Also use it for pace and timing questions. Returns domains weakest first with blind spots, knowledge-area results, Confident/Unsure/Guess against Correct/Incorrect, tagged miss reasons, and the dashboard's pace (average seconds a question against the exam pace, exam projection, rushing risk, slowest area, timing by knowledge area, confidence, domain and session) and practice activity (last practice date, practice days in the last 7 and 30 days, total practice time) for one certification. Study signals, not a pass prediction; never question content.
