Level 1 · Warm-up

1 The first pillar of FAT Teacher says your ____ is the foundation of learning.
Show worked solution
Your health — sleep, food, exercise. A tired brain cannot encode memories (Fit to Learn).
2 Which pillar does this describe: "If you are not asking questions, you are not learning effectively"?
Show worked solution
Ask to Learn — questions engage the brain actively and expose knowledge gaps.

Level 2 · Core

3 Why does the framework treat testing as a LEARNING tool rather than a judgement?
Show worked solution
Testing forces active recall, which strengthens the memory itself — and wrong answers map exactly what to re-learn.
4 You explain a topic to a friend and get stuck halfway. According to FAT Teacher, what does this mean?
Show worked solution
The reality check: if you cannot explain it, you have not learned it properly yet. Teaching is the test of real understanding.

Level 3 · Challenge

5 A student sleeps 5 hours, asks no questions, but does lots of practice tests. Which pillars are they missing?
Show worked solution
Practice tests cover Test to Learn — but 5 hours of sleep fails Fit and no questions fails Ask. (Teach is unknown but likely missing too!)
6 Why are the four pillars described as a SYSTEM rather than a menu to choose from?
Show worked solution
They reinforce each other: a healthy brain asks better questions, questions become self-tests, tests expose gaps, and teaching proves the gaps are closed — a system.
