Responding to Test Questions

Test questions may require students to do the following tasks:

• Select one or more choices from a list of answer options.
• Use an on-screen keypad to generate an answer. Students can select in the answer space to open the keypad.
• Select graphic objects or text excerpts.
• Place points, lines, or bars on a graph.
• Drag and drop text or graphic objects. Alternatively, instead of dragging and dropping, a student may select text or graphic objects and then select a destination to place them there.
• Enter text in a text box or table.
• Match answer options together.
• Modify a highlighted word or phrase in a reading selection.
• Enter input parameters to run an on-screen simulation.

Each test page has one or more questions. Some questions may consist of multiple parts that students must answer. After students respond to the questions on a page, they select Next to proceed to the next page.

All responses are saved automatically. Students can also manually save their responses to questions by selecting Save in the global menu.

Questions grouped with the same stimulus are tabbed for individual viewing. Students select the tabs in the upper-right corner to proceed to the corresponding question. These navigation tabs may also include a stimulus icon that students can select to view the stimulus associated with the grouped questions.
