If you are authorized, you may edit the rationales for an item. The item rationale provides an explanation for the inclusion of that particular exam question in an exam, while answer choice rationales provide reasons why each of the choices is being offered to the exam taker for that particular question.
While editing rationales, you can also edit/add keywords for the item, which can be used when searching for items.
