Drag-and-Drop Rationale Item The Drag-and-Drop Rationale test item mirrors the Drop-Down Rationale, as it also involves a cloze format in a cause-and-effect sentence. However, instead of using a drop-down menu to choose options, you'll click on the correct responses and place them into the blanks to complete the sentence. The sentence might contain either two blanks (dyad) or three blanks (triad) that need to be filled out.

Highlight in Text or Enhanced Hotspot Item This question type allows candidates to answer by highlighting predefined words or phrases within a text or chart. Test-takers read a section of a client chart and select words or phrases in the chart to respond to the question. It assesses the ability to extract critical information from clinical data.
