Below, you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions about interactive item types for the following categories:
General Questions
Do all student supports work with interactive item types?
Yes, all student supports work with interactive item types. Content clarifiers work with the question stem and cannot be created where you have used the Add Placeholder Response option to embed an answer choice.
Can interactive item types be used on math assessments?
Yes! Check out each interactive item type for guidelines on including equations in question and answer choices. The Texas Education Agency’s STAAR redesign website offers guidance on how math assessments incorporate interactive response questions.
Will third-party item bank vendors' interactive item types be available for use on assessments?
Yes, you can locate and add third-party interactive items to assessments by searching through a licensed vendor’s item bank. You can also edit these items as desired. Check out which item banks are available and supported for our districts.
Why are assessments with interactive item types not recommended for printing?
Interactive items are questions created for an online environment. Printing this question type creates a different test environment and should not be directly compared to students who took the test online. Therefore, if a paper assessment is needed, it is best practice to create a paper version by rewriting interactive items as different question types. Tests with interactive item types can be printed as test booklets only and will show correct answers.
When will other interactive item types be available?

Scoring
Are questions either correct or incorrect? What if a student gets part of the question correct?
Aware offers four types of scoring: point per task, partial credit, correct/incorrect, and dependency, the latter of which is available for multipart items only. Penalty scoring further applies to hot spot, multiple selection, and hot text items automatically when test authors assign partial credit or point per task scoring. Test creators can adjust scoring options when creating assessments and learn how selecting scoring rules for assessments aligns with STAAR redesign options.
How can teachers modify and score student answers to a constructed response or text entry question?
On the Enter Answers screen, teachers can score students’ constructed response answers and use the Mark as Correct button for text entry questions. Mark as Correct functions similarly to how teachers can modify a scanned bubble sheet and also helps preserve data integrity.
How can teachers modify and score student answers to all item types?
Under an assessment’s Administration tab, select All questions for the Questions teachers can answer and score setting.
Is it possible to prevent teachers from modifying student answers for a constructed response or text entry question?
