You can enhance MCQs with text formatting (bold, italic, underline, color highlights), images, videos, audio, mathematical expressions, links, and file attachments. Both the question text and the answer options can include these enhancements.
A Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) with image options allows you to present visual answer choices instead of text. You can upload images directly or use image URLs for each option. This format is ideal for visual assessments, such as identifying objects, interpreting graphs, or evaluating design elements. Candidates simply select the correct image option, and the question can be scored automatically.
A Multiple-Choice Question with audio options lets you add audio clips as answer choices. You can upload sound files or link to external audio sources. This format is especially useful for listening-based assessments, pronunciation recognition, or language comprehension tasks. Each audio clip can be replayed according to the playback limits you set, ensuring a controlled and fair testing experience.
A Multiple-Choice Question with multiple correct options allows you to design questions that have more than one correct answer. Candidates are instructed to select all correct options to receive full credit.

This question type is ideal for measuring deeper understanding and distinguishing between partial and complete knowledge.
