Wrong clicks subtract a mark. +1 for each correct word, −1 for each wrong one, floored at zero. Clicking everything you are unsure about is the fastest way to score zero on a task you half-knew.
Strategy
- Follow the text with your eyes as the audio plays. You get one pass, and you cannot go back.
- Only click what you actually heard differ. Suspicion is not evidence.
- Expect 4–6 changed words in a typical transcript — if you have clicked ten, you are guessing.
