MCQ scoring

To select an answer which you think is correct, click on the box alongside that answer. A tick will appear in the box to show that it is selected. If you change your mind, then click on the box again. You can select more than one box if you think that more than one answer is correct.

You must answer ALL parts of a question correctly to score a point for the question. Correct parts are marked in green, and incorrect parts are marked in red. If you answer a question correctly, you may proceed to the next question. If you answer a question incorrectly, you have the option to try again ("resubmit") or skip the question and proceed to the next one.

Your total score is displayed on the top right corner of the screen. To reset your score, you must close your browser and return to the homepage.
