What is an image labelling (text) question?
This question type shows an image with a text box at each labelled point. The candidate types the correct term into each box, without a list of options to choose from.
When to use it
Use text image labelling when candidates need to recall terms rather than recognise them, for example naming bones, organs or components in a professional exam.
How Synap marks it
Image labelling (text) questions are auto marked against the accepted answers you set for each label, so results are available straight away.
Authoring tips
List every acceptable answer, including common alternative terms and spellings. Keep each expected answer to a word or short phrase so marking stays reliable.
