Testing of accents

I've searched and can't find an answer, and I forgot to ask when giving some Skype feedback to Memrise yesterday...

I'm now several hundred words into the French course, and am getting tested on early memories. What I'm unclear of is whether I am marked as incorrect if I don't get the accents right. My sense is that I'm not, but I don't want to start testing that by using no accents, as it's going to affect my memories?

I can't see a setting to turn this 'on' or 'off'. What have I missed?

Merci!

  • I don't use the accents as I keep forgetting but I still get marked as 'correct' on the spelling ones.....if that helps?

  • Thank you - it helps me understand... but for me it doesn't help learn the language 'correctly'!

  • I totally agree! I would really like them to amend it so that the correct accents are essential for the testing. My problem is as I touch type and don't have a french keyboard I've quite often typed the word and hit enter too quickly to remember I'm supposed to have used them. A few fails when I know the answer would soon nip that in the bud!
