Short text answer questions

The test-taker must demonstrate an understanding of the content by writing a response that accurately reflects the knowledge or skill being tested. The answer to a short answer question is usually evaluated based on its accuracy, completeness, and relevance to the prompt. The length of a short answer response can vary, but it is typically a few sentences or a short paragraph.

Single line or multiple line answers

The test-taker can be given the option to provide either a single line or multiple line answer.

Displaying a character counter

A character counter can be displayed so that the test-taker is informed of the length of their answer at all times.

Virtual keyboard

A virtual keyboard can be provided on the screen, allowing the test-taker to type in the answer using a keyboard that is appropriate for the language they are expected to write in.

The answer given by the test-taker can be automatically validated using predefined rules, and if the answer does not meet the rules, a custom validation error message can be displayed to prompt the test-taker.
