Are the questions in Assignable the same questions that appear in OpenStax's online test banks?

No. We don't currently offer test banks for the titles available in Assignable (Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Biology 2e, Concepts of Biology, Introduction to Sociology 3e, Psychology 2e, and U.S. History).

What type of questions are available (multiple choice, free response, etc.)?

A variety of question types are available, including multiple-choice, written-response, and interactive questions (such as drag-and-drop labeling activities). Note: Written response questions require manual grading. Instructors can review student submissions by returning to the published assignment from their LMS assignment list.

Each available book includes thousands of Assignable questions. To create a custom question set, select Question Sets under the Question Library heading in the left sidebar, then choose from the available reinforcement questions tagged to the corresponding chapter and section.
