 ## `t.passed`
 
-Whether a test has passed. This value is only accurate in the `test.afterEach()` and `test.afterEach.always()` hooks.
+When used in `test.afterEach()` or `test.afterEach.always()` hooks this tells you whether the test has passed. When used in a test itself (including teardown functions) this remains `true` until an assertion fails, the test has ended with an error, or a teardown function caused an error. This value has no meaning in other hooks.
