Numeric Response
The numeric response question type is best suited for questions for which the answer is a number. Use the problem question
type when students must show their work.
1 Select a numeric response question and click Edit, or click New and select Numeric Response to create a new
question.
2 Enter the question in the Question area.
3 Switch to the Answer area by clicking in the area or by pressing Alt+A (PC) or Option+A (Mac) and enter the correct
response.
If you plan to use internet or LAN-based online testing, limit the answer to numeric values only including the digits 0-9,
comma, period, and negative sign (e.g., 1,200, 12.5, -37.4, 1000, etc.). You may include fractions (e.g., 5/3) in your
answer; however, you may not include mixed fractions (e.g., 1 2/3).

Things to keep in mind:
l
You should limit the size of a question to one page or less.
l
For online tests, numeric response questions can be scored only if there is one correct response and it is limited to
symbols and digits (e.g., $5,100.00 or 3.1456).
l
You may check the Require answer to match exactly option within the question information for numeric response
questions if you want to limit how students can answer numeric response questions in online tests. For example, if the
answer to a numeric response question is .33333 in an online test, the ExamView Test Player might accept .333, .3333,
or 1/3 as correct answers. If the Require answer to match exactly option is selected, only .33333 would be accepted as
a correct answer.
Matching
A matching group consists of the choices (or a picture with choices) and the corresponding questions. When you create a test,
you can select all or some of the questions from a group. All of the choices are shown in the test regardless of how many of the
questions you select. Matching groups are independent of one another. That is, you cannot combine questions from one group
with the questions and choices of another group.
If you selected matching questions for your test using the QuickTest Wizard, you may be asked to specify the number of
matching groups.
