Creating Questions for a New Assignment
You can use AccelTest to create an assignment comprised of different types of items (questions).
The assignment can be a combination of assisted and free response items.
Assisted Response items or questions require that the students mark their answers on a scan card,
so the scores can be totaled using AccelScan.
Examples of Assisted Response items (questions) are listed in the table below.
Free Response items or questions require students to write a number, or a word, or perhaps a
sentence or paragraph to answer a question.
