Some comments about using Quest:
- You get unlimited attempts at answering problems. However, the credit you get for answering it correctly diminishes the more attempts you make.
- You can get negative points for multiple choice questions if you have too many misses.
- Use the correct notation when entering powers of ten. For example, Avagadro's number would be entered as 6.02e23. I don't think that 6.02x10^23 will work.
- Be careful about precision. Quest states that an answer within 1% will work, so an answer with 3 digits should suffice. However, if you have an answer that involves several factors and you round off one or more of the factors too much, then your final answer will not be sufficiently precise even if you give it with 3 or more digits.
- The accuracy of your answer also depends on the accuracy of the constant(s) you may have to use in the problem. If not given in the problem, then there is a list of constants in the Quest help section.
- Look at the Quest help section for general advice on using Quest.
