  • Opinion questions don’t have a correct answer and aren’t worth points.

  • If you include a question of a type that isn’t supported in the SMART Response mode you’re using, the question appears with an Unsupported Question Type iconUnsupported Question Type icon in the Page Sorter tab in SMART Notebook software.
