I don't know-option

In RemindoTest, the 'I don't know' option can be enabled when creating or editing any question type. This allows a candidate to mark a special answer option. This will be displayed below the other answers when answering the question.

This is an optional addition, for test contexts where it is desirable for the candidate to indicate that they do not know. It allows you to eliminate guessing at a correct answer and instead gain more insight into a candidate's level of knowledge. In addition, it can be used on tests that are repeated multiple times, with the goal of measuring the progress of the candidate's knowledge level.

When setting up an "I don't know" option, you can set whether points will be given for this choice. By default, this setting will be set to 0 points.

If a candidate selects the 'I don't know' option, it will be not taken into account for any guess correction afterwards. Furthermore, it is not possible to use this option for paper tests.

Set

When a new question is created or an existing question is edited, there is a drop-down list in the upper left corner of the edit screen. The 'I don't know' option is at the bottom of the list. After selecting it, click "Add," and the option will be put under the other sections of the question. See the image below for an example.

Click on the section for the 'I don't know' option to change the number of points there.

The image to the right shows how the option looks to the candidate. Clicking the button turns the slider blue. An answer can still be selected from the answer options.

Results

When a candidate has entered the "I don't know" option, this is indicated during review. In the image to the right is the message that is shown with this. If any points are given for this option, this will be indicated in the notification. However, it is visible to correctors if a candidate has selected a different answer option or has partially completed the question.

Under Results > Analysis, questions where the 'I don't know' option is entered will be counted as incorrect for the result. Under the 'Result Details' tab in the analysis view, a completed 'I don't know' option is counted as not answered.

Under the 'Analyze Questions' tab, each question has an option to show the interaction analysis in the right column. Click on this to view the answer analysis. The window that opens shows at the bottom how many candidates selected the 'I don't know' option for this question. The image below shows an example.
