Viewing rationales for an item
 
Note: The following show rationales for a single selection multiple choice item (SSMC). Screens may look different for likert, multiple selection multiple choice items (MSMC), hotspot items, survey items, and static items.
 
An item contains rationales for the item's stem/stimulus (exam question), as well as for each of the item's answer choices. The stem/stimulus 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.
