How do I answer sets of multiple-choice questions?

How sets of multiple-choice questions work

Written by Alyssa

Overview

You may encounter sets of several multiple-choice questions in your webtext. Depending on your particular webtext, question sets may appear as a stack you can flip through or as a list of expandable items.

Depending on your course’s settings, you may be able to reset your answers to multiple-choice questions. For more information on resetting, check out our article, How do I reset multiple-choice questions?

Stack-style sets

For question sets that appear as a stack, you can see how many questions are in the set by reading the label in the upper-left corner.

For each question in the set, select your answer and then click Save.

Use the Next Question button to move forward, or flip through the questions by using the arrows in the upper-right corner of the question set.

Icons in the bottom-left corner of the set indicate which questions you’ve attempted and whether you got the correct answer.

If you forget to answer any of the questions in the set, a warning message will remind you to go back and answer the questions you’ve missed.

List-style sets

For a set of multiple-choice questions that appears as a list, the number of questions is also displayed in the top-left corner.

To move on to the next question(s), click the arrow button to the right of the question text to expand it.

Questions you’ve answered correctly will be marked with a green check symbol in the top left, while questions you’ve answered incorrectly will be marked with a red X.

If your questions have a limited amount of resets, you’ll see text in the lower-right corner that shows how many attempts you have remaining for each question.
