Exam Questions are first added to the site's database before they can be added to a specific exam.
There are two types of questions that can be added:
Multiple Choice Questions
Multiple Choice Questions allow for creating a question with multiple answers, where one or more can be correct. They can be set to auto-marking (this is done per exam, however).
To add Multiple Choice Questions:
- Navigate to Menu > Operations > Exams
- Under the Manage Questions section on the left-hand side of the page, choose >Create Multiple Choice
- Fill in the fields.
-
Question
-
Each question needs to belong to its own category. If you have not created any categories yet, please see How to create a Question Category
-
It is not mandatory to attach an image. However, if you decide to do that, please check the image size (its actual dimensions). An image area within an exam question has its limits, so large photographs will not be accepted.
-
Answers
-
You can add as many answers as you like. If the 4 default rows are not enough, you will have a chance to add more answers once the question is saved.
-
Mark which answer is correct by ticking the checkbox on the right-hand side. You can choose more than one answer to be correct, however, an Exam Taker will always be able to choose only one answer.
-
The Reason field is not mandatory but can be used to track the reasoning an answer was selected as correct or incorrect.
The Reason field will only be visible when previewing an Exam containing the question, or when editing the question. It will not show to an Exam Taker or an Exam Marker in relation to a specific exam instance.
