Keep in mind that the essay screen is the default screen.  To type your multiple-choice answers into your exam, select multiple-choice from the top toolbar.     
    • Note: If you have a multiple-choice exam, your multiple-choice answers will ONLY show up on the multiple-choice answer screen and not on the essay screen (white screen) when submitting your answers.

You can now end and submit your exam.
