The IF-AT uses a multiple-choice answer sheet with
a thin opaque film covering the answer options.
Instead of using a pencil to fill in a circle, students
scratch off their answers as if they were scratching
a lottery ticket. The student scratches off the
coating of the rectangle corresponding with the
first-choice answer. If the answer is correct, a star or
other symbol appears somewhere within the rectangle.
The student’s learning is immediately re-enforced, and the
student receives full credit for the answer. If incorrect, the
student must re-read the question and remaining answer
options and scratch off a second or even third choice until the
correct answer is identified. Students will earn partial credit
for multiple attempts and learn the correct response for each
question while taking the test.
See the illustrated example of the IF-AT forms on the left.
