Docs · vocrehab
Every VocRehab practice set shuffles itself each time it loads — so practice stays fresh. When you need the exact same items again, the seed makes it replayable: same seed, same items, every time.
Fresh by default
Open any practice set and the items shuffle automatically. Nothing to turn on, nothing to reset. The shuffle only stops when the page address carries a ?seed= value — then the set freezes into that exact order.
No seed in the address
The set shuffles on every load. Each visit is a new mix — good for everyday practice and for keeping things from going stale.
Seed in the address
The set locks into one fixed order. Reload it tomorrow and you get the very same items — good for check-ins, make-ups, and side-by-side comparisons.
Replay an exact set
A seed looks like VRHB-XXXXXX — six letters or numbers after the VRHB- prefix. A counselor can read one out, write it on a handout, or paste it into a message, and the learner lands on the identical set.
?seed=, for example ?seed=VRHB-K7Q2MD.For counselors and admins
The admin view keeps a simple log of which seeds were used and when. It exists so a counselor can confirm what a learner actually saw — without watching over their shoulder.
Seed log
Each practice run records its seed and date. Find the run, and you know exactly which set the learner worked through.
Same-seed reload
Open the logged seed yourself and you see the exact same items in the exact same order. What you review is what they practiced.
CSV export
Export the log as a plain spreadsheet file for case notes or team review. Seeds, dates, and completion — nothing personal beyond what your program already keeps.
Practice, not a test
VocRehab practice is rehearsal, not an exam. Scores highlight what went well first, and trying again is part of the plan — never a penalty.
When it misbehaves
Seeds are plain address text, so most problems are address problems. Check the address bar first.
The set still shuffles
The address has no ?seed= value, or it has a typo such as ?sead=. Copy the full seeded address again, including the VRHB- prefix, and reload. Bookmarks made before the seed was added keep shuffling until you replace them.
Two people see different sets
They opened different addresses. Compare the strings after ?seed= character by character: one wrong letter is a different set. Paste the seed into a message rather than reading it aloud when accuracy matters.
A make-up needs the same items
Find the original run in the admin seed log, copy its seed, and open the practice page with that seed attached. The learner gets the exact order from the missed session, and the retry counts the same as every attempt.
A check-in needs fresh items
Open the practice page with no seed at all. Each load shuffles again, so the check-in measures steady skill rather than memory of one order. Browse the full set in the games catalog first if you want a tour.
Quick answers
The short version of everything counselors and learners ask about replayable sets.
Do seeds change scoring
Never. Seeded and shuffled attempts use the same strengths-first summaries, the same bands, and the same retry policy. The seed fixes item order only.
Do I need an account to use a seed
No. Anyone with the seeded address sees the same order. Signing in adds saved runs and progress history, which is how a counselor reviews work later.
What does a counselor say
Try this script: open this address, work through it once, and tell me which three felt easiest. The seed log confirms the set, and the conversation stays on supports instead of scores.
Where do seeds fit the bigger picture
They are one practice habit among several. Pair them with the getting-started guide for a weekly rhythm and the counselor guide for review sessions.
