The idea
Constructed-response items ask students to produce an answer: completion and short-answer items are easy to write but often allow more than one right answer, while extended responses assess complex outcomes and writing.
In practice
"Explain why the Articles of Confederation failed" calls for an extended response.
Where people slip
Extended responses are scored unreliably without careful procedures.
