There are three types of multiple choice questions on the NES Writing test: 1) Questions that require reviewing a passage and selecting answers about the passage, 2) Questions that require selecting one correct answer from multiple choices, and 3) Questions that require selecting multiple correct answers from multiple choices. The presentation discusses these three question types and encourages reviewing sample questions in the NES profile to familiarize yourself with the formats.
