rt timing

[scienceisbeauty]

I'm asking a question using a text file #nameoftextfilethathasquestion, then there are 5 response options. I want the person to choose 1 of those so they should answer with 1,2,3,4, or 5.

Is writing rt:1,2,3,4,5 in the 'time column' the correct way to give them those options, because it doesn't seem to work. Only pressing 1 advances to the next screen.

Yes, that should work, unless you are using the number pad keys which require different codes, I believe.

they are responding to a question that asks what percent did you get on the test.
what do I write after rt: so that participants can respond btwn 0 - 100 ?

as in, they could enter 40, 50, 99 or whatever number they want between 0 - 100 . How do I put this option in?

You can use rt:text for responses that require more than a single character. See open ended responses in the users guide for more detail.
