How many unscored questions are used for future test use in MIL1 materials?

• A. 5
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 20

Answer: (B)

Unscored questions are included to test new items and collect data for future tests while your score is determined by the scored items. This allows test designers to evaluate item performance, difficulty, and fairness without affecting your result. In MIL1 materials, there is a fixed group of these unscored questions included in each assessment. They look like regular questions, but they aren’t counted toward your score. Their responses help calibrate which items to use in future administrations. Because of that, you should approach them with the same care as any other item, even though your score won’t reflect them. The remaining options wouldn’t fit MIL1’s practice of using a fixed set of unscored items for future test development.
