- Direct Look
-up Definition:For open-reference questions, if the question stem provides the reference title and/or number and the correct answer requires no understanding, application, analysis, or problem solving, but simply requires the ability to find the information in the reference, then the question is likely a direct look
-up.*Non-Credible Distractor:For open-reference questions, if the question stem provides the reference title and/or number and a distractor can be easily eliminated because it is not located anywhere in the reference, then that distractor should be considered not credible.
