When you start an assessment, assessment questions appear one at a time, and you can respond by typing or clicking an answer. Assessment questions can be in the form of true/false; multiple-choice (single answer); multiple-choice (many answer); hotspot; matching; and fill-in. Assessment questions can also be of a custom type, that may be in the form of a Adobe Flash file, HTML page, or another format created in another application.


Before you submit a final answer to a question, you can change the answer as many times as desired. Once you select an answer and the response is recorded, you cannot return to the question. If you do not know the answer to a question or are unsure, you can click Do Not Know in the Question box instead of guessing at an answer. When you click Do Not Know, the answer is considered incorrect for scoring purposes.


After selecting an answer, you may see remediation information. Depending upon the setup, the remediation may simply indicate if an answer was correct or incorrect, or it may include detailed information that fully explains why the correct answer is correct. After viewing the available information, you can continue on to the next question. The remediation feature can also be disabled, in which case the next question appears.


In a pre-assessment or post-assessment, a Show Associated Content link appears in the remediation window if the feature is enabled. When you click the link, the subject interface opens with the content displayed that contains the related instructional content. This new window may include navigation buttons, as well as a graphic that displays pertinent information. When you finish reviewing the content, you can close the window and continue taking the assessment.

 

As you move through the assessment questions, the progress pane at the bottom of the window shows the number of the current question and how many total questions are in the assessment.
