Is the stem asking about an immediate, later, or completed step?
Use the TRACE audit
TRACE turns an uncertain answer choice into a short, reviewable decision trail. It is a study-analysis framework, not clinical guidance.
Circle the word that controls order, scope, or comparison.
Put the two strongest choices into a logical sequence.
Remove unsupported assumptions and role-inappropriate actions.
State why one option fits the requested moment better.
Dataset explorer
Filter by signal family or search across the cue, common reading error, audit question, and role-boundary check.
Suggested analyses
- Error-family count: tally the signal family for each missed or uncertain practice item.
- Near-neighbour comparison: write two plausible options, then change only the controlling sequence word.
- Assumption audit: list every fact an answer requires that the stem never supplies.
- Revision check: remove accidental ambiguity so the intended learning objective—not a wording trick—drives the distinction.
