Directions for the Student:
| 1. |
Students read the multiple-choice question and the series of answer options. They then select the rectangle (marked A, B, C, or D) corresponding to their answer choice and scratch off the thin, opaque covering. If the answer is correct, a star will appear somewhere within the rectangle, and the student will receive full credit.
|
| 2. |
If the student selects an incorrect answer, the rectangle below the covering will be empty. The student is instructed to re-read the question and all of the remaining options, and to try again. If the second choice is correct, a star or symbol will appear beneath the covering, and the student can earn partial credit (amount determined by the teacher). The student knew enough to be able to narrow the options, distinguishing him or herself from another student who was simply guessing. If a student’s second choice does not uncover the star, he or she will be instructed to re-read the question and the remaining options, and to “try, try again”.

| 3. |
This process continues until the student uncovers the correct answer, even if it requires that the student scratch off all possible boxes. On an exam, the teacher determines the number of points allocated for correctly responding on first and later attempts.

Directions for the Instructor:
Accompanying the IF-AT forms is an answer key for each version of the test form. To apply this system to a set of questions - whether a test, quiz, study guide, or exercise – simply arrange a list of questions and answer options according to the IF-AT form being used.
A key for each pre-printed version of the IF-AT form will be provided to instructors - identifying the correct answer location for each question. The number at the bottom of the form identifies the particular version being used.
