•In the Numeric Settings, you can choose the response to be of a certain tolerance or a certain range for the question.

•Tolerance is the maximum allowed margin of error by the examinee (e.g. If the correct answer for the value of pi is set to be 3.14, you can set the lower bound tolerance to be .01 and the upper bound tolerance to be .01; this means that the correct answers can be as low as 3.13 and as high as 3.15). The values set for the tolerances can be whole numbers or decimals.

•For the Range, you can choose the minimum and maximum acceptable range for the answer. These values can be whole numbers or decimals.
