Practice Mode

Posted onby

What is Practice Mode? With Practice Mode, you can practice at your own pace by playing along with automatically-scrolling tablature and a metronome. You'll see the Practice Mode activity on the course detail screen under most lessons that include tablature.

Introduction

Tracks can be completed in two modes on Exercism - Mentored Mode and Practice Mode. You can choose a different mode for each track.

Mentored Mode

Mentored Mode gives you the full Exercism experience. The track progresses in a structured manner, teaching you a new skill with each exercise. Every time you submit a solution, a mentor will give you feedback and advice on how to improve your code. Once you've made a little progress, they'll approve your solution and you can unlock the next step in the track.

Every time you complete a solution, you'll also unlock extra bonus exercises. These are designed to give you opportunities to practice what you've learnt so far. There are lots of bonus exercises so you should always have some new challenges to be getting on with while you're waiting for our mentors to review your exercises.

We try to respond to all core submissions within 24hrs, but as our mentors are volunteers helping in their evenings and weekends, we can't guarantee that we will hit that goal. Our bonus exercises hopefully mean you won't get frustrated waiting for feedback :)

Practice Mode

We designed Practice Mode for people who want to take fast, deep-dives into a language without waiting for mentor feedback. In Practice Mode you can take the exercises in whatever order you want and there is no progression or unlocking. You may request mentoring on one exercise at a time, but your solutions will have a lower priority than people in Mentored Mode.

Changing mode on a track

While we recommend sticking to one mode per track, it is possible to change if you decide you've made the wrong decision. You will find the button in the 'Danger Zone' section of a track page, which is on the right-hand-side in Mentored Mode and the bottom of the page in Practice Mode.

Oversubscribed tracks

Some tracks are oversubscribed, meaning there are too many students per mentor. In this situation, anyone starting the track is forced to start in Practice Mode, and no-one in Practice Mode will be able to request mentor help until the track is back in a 'healthy' state. At the time of writing, we define an oversubscribed track as one that has a median wait time of over one week.

It’s not what you practice, it’s how you practice.

Are you struggling with harder lessons? Left hand not cooperating with your right? Does your left pinky have a mind of its own? We’ve all been there! That’s what Practice Mode is for – a selection of tools to help you practice more effectively. It’s not about how long you practice for, it’s not about how many times you attempt something, it’s the way you practice that matters most.

The brain works in mysterious ways. When you hit the wrong note, your brain will actually start to make a connection – and can reinforce this behavior. This is why slowing down, and playing the right notes is so important when you’re learning a piece.

Next time you’re playing a lesson, hit the Practice Mode button up next to Performance Mode to access your practice tools.

Slow down the tempo of a lesson before you attempt your performance, set a loop to focus on those trickier parts, and use Wait Mode to remove the stress of the scrolling playhead - we’ll wait for you to get it right.

Turn on practice mode, grab the BPM slider, and slow it down.


BPM Slider: Slow it down

One of the best ways to master a track is to slow it down. Practice Mode has a BPM slider that you can pull down to give you more time to find those notes. You can even slow it right down to a stop so that you can inspect the arrangement – or if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, speed up the track to an even faster tempo!

Auto BPM let’s you work up to full speed gradually, automatically.

Auto BPM: Build it up slowly

Once you’ve slowed things down, hit the “Auto BPM” button. When this is active, Melodics will automatically ramp up the speed by 10 BPM if you’re nailing it, until it reaches the tracks natural tempo.

Set Loop: Rinse and repeat

Sometimes there’s a really hard part of a lesson stopping you from getting 100%. Use the Set Loop function to select a particular section of a track to loop continuously.

Make sure you're in the right place with wait mode.


Wait Mode: No stress

If slowing down the track just isn’t enough, you can play the lesson one note at a time using Wait Mode. As each note reaches the play head, the performance will pause until you hit the correct note. All the time in the world to get it right and strengthen those neurons.
