Multiple Response - Select All That Apply items are like the SATA questions you're familiar with, but with more options and a chance for partial credit.

In a Multiple Response - Select N item, a specific number of responses is mentioned in the question. That number is exactly how many responses you'll need to choose—no more, no less!
