Tabular

A Tabular question presents candidates with a spreadsheet-style table to fill in. It is the right choice when the answer requires structured data entry across multiple rows and columns rather than a single value or free text.

Writing the Question

Write your question prompt using the content editor. Describe what the candidate should enter in the table — the structure, what each column represents, what values are expected, and any calculation or classification rules. See Content Editor and Layout.

Table Structure

Define the table structure — the number of rows and columns, column headers, and any pre-filled cells. Pre-filled cells provide context or starting data that candidates work with. Editable cells are where candidates enter their responses.

Rubric Scoring

Attach a rubric to evaluate tabular responses against structured criteria — for example: accuracy of values, completeness, correct formulas or classifications. See Rubric Scoring.

Common Features

Tabular questions also support: Scoring — Multipliers & Dimensions, Hint, Answer Explanations, Folder & Tags, Preview & Scoring Simulation, and three save modes.
