      How To Answer the TRAT Activity

      Team members must enter activity to mark attendance. Points will not be allocated if student did not click to enter activity.

      With TRATs, the team reporter takes the screen and answers the question for the team. Team members will still be able to see the question on their own devices, but only the team reporter can save an answer and submit the test.

      • Similar to the IRAT, the team reporter can select an answer and click the "Save My Answer" button to commit to the chosen answer.
      • If your answer is incorrect, it will be marked with a red X mark.
