practice mode
Low-stakes learning option
Practice mode is a setting in games, software, or training systems that lets users learn or rehearse without real consequences.
Mistakes don't count against you, scores aren't recorded, and you can experiment freely: I'll try it in practice mode first before playing for real.
The term extends to any low-stakes trial run: Consider your first few attempts practice mode.
