Create a Standard RAT
Updated: July 24, 2017
A Readiness Assurance Test consists of two activities: the individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT) and the team Readiness Assurance Test (tRAT). In this particular case we will be building a standard RAT with no immediate feedback just like a standard multiple choice quiz. If you’d like to add immediate feedback, check out our other guide.
Before you start
