The Matrix/Grid format includes two types of items; single response, and multiple response.
The single response answer options are presented in a table format and each row has a single correct answer.
The multiple response format allows each column in the table to be an independent answer where the user can select one, many, or all the available answers.
For example, a selection of symptoms can be presented and exam takers are expected to identify sets of symptoms for a particular disease. The Matrix item gives the opportunity to test multiple aspects of a clinical situation in a single question.
In ExamSoft, you can use the Matrix question type to create these items.
Note: These questions are typically used for nursing specific exams.
