Overall Performance Shortfalls of Formative Open-ended Items on GMAS
– Students were not familiar with these types of items
• Many responded ‘dnk’ – as in ‘do not know’ OR 'idk'- 'I don't know'
– Students did not show their work, detail their thoughts,
rationales, cite evidence to support their answer or claim
• Tendency was to cite answer only – as if a multiple-choice
item
– Students did not read carefully and answer all parts of the
question/item
