  • Drag & Drop: The exam-taker answers the question by reviewing a list of possible answers and dragging the correct answer(s) to the answer box.
  • Essay: The exam-taker writes a long-form response to the question.
  • FITB (Fill in the Blank): The exam-taker supplies the missing word(s) in a passage of text by typing or by selecting an option from a drop-down list.
  • Hot Spot: The exam-taker answers the question by clicking on an image.
  • M/C (Multiple Choice): The exam-taker selects the answer(s) from a list of possible answers.
