How are the Alternate-Item-Type (AIT) questions different from regular multiple-choice questions?
A “regular” multiple-choice question has four options from which you may select your answer. AIT questions include both “Check-All-That-Apply” and “Quantitative-Fill-in-the-Blank” items. In the new “Check-All-That-Apply” items, the question will have six options to choose from and the candidate must select all that are correct. In each item, it is noted how many options you need to select. In the “Quantitative-Fill-in-the-Blank” questions, a candidate must input the correct numeric answer and no options are given. Sample “Check-All-That-Apply” and “Quantitative-Fill-in-the-Blank” questions may be reviewed here.
