Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With the type of scoring described, guessing is not penalized. Reading all options and eliminating obviously wrong distracters and those unrelated to the subject matter facilitate answering the question. Easy questions should be answered first. Answers may be changed if the learner is sure the revised answer is correct. All options should be read. First choice may seem correct, but sometimes a better option could be given later in the question.
