Adding a Reference to an Item in Scorpion

Most programs require that each test item contains a reference to current materials in the field being tested, in order to support the desired response/correct answer in case of item challenges and to document due diligence.

Scorpion makes it easy to add and view references singly or for an entire test bank.
