There are a couple of errors in that post (and I'm going to update it one day), but is_correct() isn't any of them. I've defined is_correct() on my Form subclass. It's a method, not a property or an attribute, however, and it does return a boolean. You don't have to use something like my is_correct method, though, as you apparently now realise. It's just a handy utility function. That post is a précis of some more complex code in a real quiz application I wrote, and the utility functions like that saved a bunch of typing later on. > > > (b) What does q.next.get_absolute_url() return, if so?

If so, does q.next.get_absolute_url() return something sensible (print it out and see)?
