Support Mail Bag Q&A  

This month, our Customer Support team helps with a couple common requests.

Some of my students forgot their passwords. How can retrieve them?

And, for teachers who need a little clarification on how to adjust credit for retry answers, you may find this article helpful.

Customer Support is happy to help students, parents, teachers and administrators. Call (800) 345-7606 extension 1 or email support@castlelearning.com with your questions.

An update has just been released for Theology consisting of 99 multiple-choice questions on Module II: Who is Jesus Christ?, commonly taught in the second semester of freshman year.

Search for Social Studies Questions Using Attributes

Hey Social Studies teachers! Do your students need extra practice answering questions that include specific attributes like maps, political cartoons or graphs?
