Item Analysis: Question Style

Question Style refers to the way a student is asked to respond to a particular item on the OPT tests. There are three styles of questions (each with its own scoring requirements), as follows...

MC	Multiple Choice These questions require the student to select the correct response from the given options. Each of the multiple choice items in the test is worth one point.
SR	Short Response Short-answer items typically ask students to explain a conclusion, provide examples, complete a chart, interpret information, or provide a rationale for an answer they have chosen. Each of the short-answer items is worth two points.
ER	Extended Response Extended-response items might ask students to interpret information, reach a conclusion and justify that conclusion, or demonstrate application of concepts and skills. Each extended-response item is worth four points.
