Constructed response items carry more weight than multiple choice.
Students should attempt all open-ended questions; even a response not showing mastery is likely to earn more points than a correctly answered multiple-choice question.
No points are subtracted for answering multiple-choice questions incorrectly; guessing cannot lower a student’s score and may improve it!
