The Confidence Level designation provides a way of allowing a student to qualify his or her Response to a Question. PRS Transmitters have an H button and an L button in the bottom row of buttons. Pressing the H button plus a Response Choice value button indicates the respondent has a high level of confidence in the correctness of his Response. Pressing the L button plus a Response Choice indicates the respondent is basically guessing at the correct Response and has a low level of confidence in the accuracy of his answer. By default, when a Confidence Level is not indicated, all Responses are assigned a Medium Level of Confidence. The instructor should indicate at the beginning of a Session, or before a Question is presented, that he wants a Confidence Level attached to the Response(s).
Confidence Levels cannot be used when responding to Questions during a Self-Paced Session, as the H and L buttons perform a different function during those Sessions. The H precedes the number of the Question being answered, and the L precedes the digits of a numeric response, or the Response Choice in a multilple choice test.
