<p>For ex. if a questions asks you to identify a benefit for something, and you're not sure if your answer is 100% can you list multiples one to ensure that you got it right? Or will only the first response be scored?</p>
<p>That’s laundry listing and it’s looked down upon. Unless they’re in a generous mood, they’ll only read the 1st one. If they’re in a bad mood, they’ll read the worst one.</p>
<p>Only the first one will be scored.</p>
<p>My US Gov teacher encouraged us to list multiple answers if we knew them.</p>
<p>Based on reading the scoring rubric (for a variety of subjects), there’s nothing that suggests only the first answer listed will be read/counted. I’ve seen notes in US Gov where points were not given (if a person listed multiples) when the question asked for the most important thing the graders want, and I’ve seen other questions where points were not given if a specific erroneous answer was mentioned.</p>
<p>List the one thing you’re most sure about…</p>
<p>^ Exactly Just answer the question as specifically written. Don’t give the graders a harder time.</p>
<p>Hmm, some of the questions in the APES Frq Scoring Guidelines specifically say to count only the first response given, while other questions don’t mention it.</p>
