A multiple-choice test consists of 5 questions with each question having 4 possible answers, How many different ways are there to mark the answers? ways

Step 1 ：This is a problem of permutations. Since each question has 4 possible answers, and there are 5 questions, the total number of ways to mark the answers is \(4^5\).

Step 2 ：The total number of ways to mark the answers is \(4^5 = 1024\).

Step 3 ：Final Answer: There are \(\boxed{1024}\) different ways to mark the answers.
