When you believe a rejection is mistaken, you submit an ___ to the review board.
An appeal formally asks the App Review Board to reconsider a decision you think misapplied the guidelines.
2 / 10
A strong appeal politely references the specific ___ the reviewer cited and explains why it does not apply.
Citing the exact guideline (e.g. 4.3) and addressing it directly keeps the appeal focused and shows you understand the policy.
3 / 10
Including a screen recording that shows the feature working as intended provides ___ for your appeal.
Concrete evidence such as videos or screenshots helps the reviewer see the actual behaviour rather than rely on assumptions.
4 / 10
A professional appeal keeps a ___ tone rather than blaming the reviewer.
A respectful, factual tone is more persuasive; hostility rarely changes a review outcome and can slow the process.
5 / 10
Closing your appeal by asking the team to ___ the decision states your goal clearly.
Asking the reviewer to reconsider makes the requested action explicit while staying within the appeal process.

Liam from QA flagged a performance issue with the new user authentication flow during the code review. He suggested increasing the timeout value for the API call. You disagree and believe the current timeout is appropriate based on recent load testing results. Which of the following responses would be most effective in your appeal?
This scenario focuses on respectfully disagreeing while acknowledging the reviewer's input. Option A admits disagreement and doesn't provide justification. Option B is dismissive and unprofessional. Option D escalates the issue unnecessarily. Option C presents your counter-argument with supporting evidence (load testing), demonstrating you've considered their perspective.

Sarah on Slack mentions that her PR was rejected because of 'lack of unit tests'. You want to address this. Which statement would be the *most* constructive initial response?
This question assesses the ability to respond politely and proactively. Option A is accusatory and unhelpful. Option B offers a collaborative approach, inviting discussion and improvement.

You're writing the description for a PR that was rejected due to inconsistent styling across different components. You want to clearly explain your changes. What is the best way to phrase this in the PR description?
This tests understanding of clear and specific language. Option A is vague. Option B precisely explains the reason for the change and references the original feedback. Options C and D are too informal and don't convey the technical details. A good PR description should be informative and actionable.

David, a senior developer, rejected your code change in a review comment stating it 'doesn't follow our established patterns'. You believe your approach is justified and more efficient. What should you do *before* formally appealing his decision?
This scenario focuses on professional communication and collaboration. Option A is confrontational and disrespectful. Option B encourages dialogue and understanding, allowing you to address David's concerns directly. Options C and D avoid constructive engagement. It's crucial to understand the *why* behind a rejection before escalating.

You've submitted an appeal regarding a code review rejection, detailing your reasoning and supporting evidence. In your concluding paragraph of the appeal, what is the most effective way to end the message?
This question examines closing remarks in an appeal. Option A is passive and doesn't state your desired outcome clearly. Option B expresses confidence and reiterates the benefit of your change. Options C and D are demanding and potentially aggressive. A strong conclusion restates your position positively and politely requests a favorable decision.
