4. Types of Question:

There are six (6) different types of assessment questions. 

When a question is auto-marked, it means that the Portal will recognise the Students’ answer and mark them either as Correct or Incorrect.

There will be a maximum number of attempts allowed for these types of questions. Once that is met, the Student is then required to answer a default short-answer question in their own words.

All questions have a maximum number of times that a Student can receive an Incorrect marking, which will affect their ability to receive a Competency for the unit. The Portal handles the attempts automatically and these settings cannot be overridden.

If you have a Student who is having trouble answering a question and has already reached the maximum number of attempts, you can speak with your School Relationship Officer (SRO) to get advice on how to proceed.
