## Decide what the statement describes

A risk can be a possible benefit as well as a possible problem. Focus on the event the statement asks about: today’s issue can create a separate risk for a future date.

1. Read the whole situation, including words such as might, could, has or now.
2. Choose Risk when the event is uncertain. Choose Issue when the problem is happening or has already happened.
3. Read the explanation after your choice. If the choice doesn’t fit, use the feedback and try the other answer.
4. Choose Next situation after a correct answer. Keep going until every situation is complete.

## Use the explanation as your guide

This game gives feedback instead of a separate Hint button. Situations you retry are recorded with the result.

1. Open How to play whenever you want the short definition of Risk and Issue.
2. After a retry, compare the explanation with the timing in the statement. What is still uncertain, and what is already true?
3. Try again when you’re ready. There’s no timer.

## Review and save the round

Each round’s first saved win stays when you replay it. Completing the situations is a useful practice step, not a prediction of your exam result.

1. When You spotted the difference appears, read the final insight.
2. Open Review the situations to revisit the explanations for the whole round.
3. Choose Save only to save the win to your account, or Share this win to save it and open Community. You still choose whether to publish a post.
4. Choose Next round, or use Rounds to return to any available collection.

## Continue later or replay a round

Your unfinished game place stays on this browser. Restarting doesn’t remove a saved account win. If browser storage is unavailable, keep the window open until you’re finished.

1. Return in the same browser and account to continue your current round.
2. Open Rounds and choose Restart round if you want to answer its situations again. Confirm Restart round, or choose Keep playing.
3. If saving a win fails, use Retry saving win or return to the pending-win notice in Games.
