The Learning Series questions are optimized for use with ExamView. Questions take full
advantage of ExamView features, providing maximum flexibility when building customized
tests. Tests built in ExamView can be used with student response systems without any
additional modifications. Open tests in student response software and immediately begin
testing.
Learning Series questions are high quality and do not require additional review for content
accuracy, age/grade appropriateness, grammatical accuracy or clarity. Questions are
intended to assess students’ ability to apply knowledge to solve practical problems. Even
incorrect choices for multiple-choice questions have been developed to mirror common
student mistakes. In addition, specific feedback and guidance are provided to help students
avoid making mistakes in the future.
The Learning Series emphasizes critical thinking with questions that promote students'
ability to correctly analyze situations and apply knowledge. Most questions are presented in
real-life contexts that incorporate cross-curricular subjects and contain accurate and timely
data. Also, the questions contain illustrations, tables, graphs, charts, maps and other
visuals that provide both necessary and supplemental information for students to analyze
and interpret. In addition to supplying high-quality questions, the Learning Series also
takes advantage of many ExamView features, providing maximum flexibility to tailor
assessments for a variety of situations.
The Learning Series contains a variety of question types similar to those typically found on
state and national high-stakes tests:
 Multiple choice
 Numeric response with response grids (gridded response)
 Completion
 Short answer (short response)
 Essay (extended response)
For added flexibility, most multiple choice questions are "bimodal." (See Figure 1.) Display
bimodal questions as either multiple choice or short answer. When added to a test,
bimodal questions display as multiple choice by default. A single mouse click will toggle all
of the multiple choice questions on a test to short answer, increasing the difficulty level by
requiring students to show work or explain answers.
