A TestNav item instructs students to 'Select the TWO sentences that best develop the central idea.' How many answer choices should a student select?
Answer: Two
When an item specifies a number such as 'Select TWO,' students must select exactly that number of answers to receive full credit.
Which TestNav tool allows students to write temporary notes directly on the screen during a test without affecting their scored response?
Answer: Sticky note / notepad
The sticky note or notepad tool in TestNav lets students jot scratch work or reminders that are not submitted as part of the scored answer.
A student is presented with a TestNav item showing a Venn diagram and must drag text labels into the correct overlapping sections. What item type is this?
Answer: Categorization / Drag and drop
Categorization or drag-and-drop items ask students to sort or place provided labels, facts, or objects into designated categories or regions of a diagram.
In TestNav, what differentiates a 'technology-enhanced item' (TEI) from a standard multiple-choice question?
Answer: TEIs require students to interact with the interface beyond simply clicking one bubble
Technology-enhanced items leverage the digital testing environment to require interactions such as dragging, clicking regions, typing equations, or constructing graphs — going beyond single-bubble selection.
A TestNav passage-based set includes five questions but only one article. Where does the article appear while students answer the questions?
Answer: The passage stays visible in a split panel alongside the questions
TestNav keeps the passage visible in one panel while questions appear in the adjacent panel, so students can refer to the text throughout all related items.
Which item type would a TestNav science test use to have students plot data points on an x-y coordinate plane and draw a best-fit line?
Answer: Graphing response
Graphing response items provide an interactive coordinate plane where students can place points and, in some cases, draw lines or curves to complete a graph.
For a TestNav writing performance task, students typically have access to which of the following during the response portion?
Answer: Source passages to read and reference while writing
Writing performance tasks provide source passages that remain accessible while students draft their written response, so they can cite and reference the texts.
