In the context of the test, how is scoring determined across questions?

• A. Each question has a single correct answer independent of other questions.
• B. Some questions share the same correct answer.
• C. Answers are graded with partial credit for partial knowledge.
• D. Answers are evaluated through a group review.

Answer: (A)

Scoring on these tests is per-question independent: each item has one correct option, and that correct choice is determined without regard to other questions. You either get the question right or you don’t, with no partial credit for partial knowledge and no group review or cross-question dependencies affecting the score. This is why the correct description is that each question has a single correct answer independent of the others—the scoring model is binary for each item and summed across the test.
