Abstract
Automated methods and systems are provided for presenting and scoring items which are presented in different question formats that include graphics interpretation, two-part analysis, table analysis, and multi-source reasoning. There are a plurality of response opportunities for each item, and each response opportunity is independent of each other. In operation, an item is presented in the respective question format on a processor-controlled user interface display screen. A response engine receives the response for each response opportunity. A scoring engine in communication with the response engine receives the plurality of responses and scores the plurality of responses by determining whether the response selected for each response opportunity is correct, and assigning credit for the item only if each of the responses for each of the response opportunities is correct, and assigning no credit for the item if at least one of the responses for each of the response opportunities is incorrect.
