  1. In TestNav, a 'two-part' question (Part A / Part B) typically requires students to:

    Answer: Support their Part A answer by selecting evidence in Part B

    Two-part items ask students to first identify a main idea or conclusion in Part A, then select the textual evidence that best supports that answer in Part B.

  2. Which TestNav question type allows a student to construct a bar graph or line plot by adding and removing data points on screen?

    Answer: Graphing response

    Graphing response items provide an interactive graph tool where students build a chart by placing, moving, or deleting points and bars.

  3. What is the primary purpose of the 'eliminator' tool available for multiple-choice questions in TestNav?

    Answer: It lets students cross out answer choices they have ruled out

    The eliminator tool allows students to cross through answer options they believe are wrong, making it easier to focus on remaining choices.

  4. A student encounters a TestNav item with a reading passage on the left panel and questions on the right panel. What is this layout called?

    Answer: Passage-based stimulus

    Passage-based stimulus items display the source material (text, image, or data) in one panel while the questions appear in an adjacent panel so both are visible simultaneously.

  5. In TestNav, which question type requires a student to shade specific cells in a grid to represent a fraction, decimal, or other value?

    Answer: Hot spot grid

    Hot spot grid items ask students to click individual cells within a rectangular grid to shade them, representing a visual answer such as a fraction of the whole.

  6. When a TestNav essay prompt says 'Write using evidence from BOTH sources,' what item type category does this fall under?

    Answer: Extended constructed response

    Extended constructed response items ask students to write multi-paragraph answers, often using information from provided stimulus passages.

  7. A TestNav science item shows a virtual lab experiment where students adjust variables and observe outcomes. This is an example of a:

    Answer: Simulation item

    Simulation items present interactive, scenario-based environments — such as virtual labs — where students manipulate variables and record or interpret results.
