Preview & Scoring Simulation
Preview any question exactly as candidates will see it and simulate its scoring — pick answers and watch the computed score update to verify multipliers, partial credit, and penalties before the question goes live.
The question preview shows a question exactly as candidates will see it — and lets you answer it yourself and watch the score compute live. It is the fastest way to catch both presentation problems (a cropped image, an awkward sidebar) and scoring mistakes (a wrong correct-answer flag, a partial-credit rule that doesn't do what you thought) before the question reaches a real candidate.
What the Preview Shows
- The question prompt and any sidebar content, rendered with the configured layout — exactly the candidate view.
- The live answer input: choices you can select, fields you can type in, recorders you can operate.
- Hints and answer explanations, if configured, so you can proofread them in place.
Scoring Simulation
Answer the question in the preview and the computed result updates immediately: the success rate your answer earns and the points after multipliers. Use it to verify:
- The correct answer is actually marked correct — select it and confirm 100%.
- Partial scoring — select a partially correct combination and check the rate matches your intent.
- Negative marking — pick a wrong answer and confirm the penalty applied is what you configured.
- Selection constraints — min/max selections behave as intended.
Where to Find It
Click the Preview button in the question editor toolbar. The preview reflects the question's current unsaved state, so you can iterate — tweak, preview, tweak — without saving between attempts.
Make the scoring simulation part of your authoring routine for every question that uses partial credit or negative multipliers — those are the two places where configured behavior most often differs from intended behavior.
Simulating Questions with Scored Dimensions
For questions with scored dimensions, the simulator shows one percentage input per dimension (plus a separate overall input in independent mode). The result — question %, test points, and both scored and associated dimension points — is computed with the same engine as a real result. Evaluate with AI fills the simulator with the AI's per-dimension scores and shows its per-dimension feedback.
