Why closed-book practice fits a proctored Canvas quiz

A Canvas quiz proctored by Honorlock tests what you can recall with no notes open, so your practice should be closed-book too.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer practice from your own files
Explanations that show why each wrong option fails
Flashcards with spaced repetition for key terms
Browser study on the free plan, with exports on paid plans

Example practice questions for a proctored online exam

Why does retrieval practice usually beat rereading notes before a closed-book exam?Pulling an answer from memory strengthens recall, which is what a closed-book exam tests, while rereading can feel familiar without being retrievable.

What is spaced repetition?Reviewing material at increasing intervals so you recall it just before it fades, which builds long-term retention.

Why practice a quiz under a time limit?It trains your pacing under the same constraint as the real attempt, so the clock does not become a surprise.

Why review wrong answers instead of only your score?Each wrong answer shows a specific gap, and the explanation shows why the distractor fails so the misconception does not return.

What should you check before using any study aid for a proctored exam?Your course syllabus and your instructor's quiz settings, since your school sets the proctoring rules on materials and devices for each exam.
