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.

Some test pages may have only one question and others may have more. 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. Students do not have to answer every question before proceeding to the next page. If they do not respond to a question, they may return to it later to do so.

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