Exam-style question formats

The AB-100 exam is not only four-option multiple choice. It also uses interactive items — the exam policy page calls these interactive components. These sets drill the three most common shapes so the interaction itself doesn't cost you time on exam day.

All-or-nothing

Like multiple-response items, every format on this page scores all-or-nothing — one wrong step, blank, or pair and the whole item is marked incorrect. Slow down and check the full answer before submitting.
