Importing Questions
Five ways to bring questions into your bank in bulk — templates, AI generation, restore, batch update, and custom parsers.
TestInvite supports importing questions in bulk from external sources. Import is a 4-step wizard: select the import method → configure settings → preview questions → confirm. The preview step lets you review and edit each question before anything is saved.
Method 1: Template-Based Import
Use a template file to create new questions in bulk. TestInvite provides template formats that map to question structures. Paste or upload the template content and TestInvite parses it into a question list for preview.
Method 2: Import Using AI
Generate questions using AI (powered by Gemini). Provide a text prompt, an attached file, or both — and the AI produces a list of new questions for you to review before saving. Configuration options:
- Question types — choose which types the AI may generate: Multiple Choice, Match, Short Text, Long Text, Numeric.
- Folder — the destination folder in the Question Bank.
- Dimensions pool — optional list of scoring dimensions the AI may assign to generated questions.
- Tags pool — optional tags the AI may assign.
- Prompt — describe what questions you want (topic, difficulty, style, count, etc.).
- Attachment — optionally attach an image, PDF, or plain-text file as source material (e.g., upload a reading passage and ask for comprehension questions).
Method 3: Restore
Upload a JSON file previously exported from TestInvite to restore questions. Questions that already exist in the bank (matched by ID) are skipped — only new questions are imported.
Method 4: Batch Update
Upload a JSON file to update existing questions in bulk. This is useful when you need to change scoring, tags, dimensions, or other metadata across many questions at once. The JSON must reference existing question IDs; questions that do not exist are flagged in the preview and must be removed before confirming.
Method 5: Custom Parser
Available on plans that include the custom code feature. Upload a CSV file and process it using a saved custom parser function. Configure the field separator (comma, semicolon, or tab), question type mapping, and which row range to process. The custom function transforms each CSV row into a question structure.
Always review the preview step before confirming. It shows exactly which questions will be created or updated and lets you edit or remove individual items before they affect your bank.
