Test Papers
What test papers (variants) are, how to generate them, and the diagnostics panel for reviewing test structure and scoring.
A test paper is a concrete version of a test generated from page builders. When a test contains static or dynamic page builders, a test paper represents one possible combination of questions — the specific set that a test-taker would receive if they took the test at that moment.
Test papers are accessed from the Diagnostics section in the test editor.
Generating Test Papers
Click Generate to create a new test paper. You can give it a title and optionally exclude previously generated papers from the selection pool, which ensures the new paper contains a different subset of questions.
Once generated, a test paper is saved and listed in the test papers table with its creation date. You can:
- Preview — view the full question list that the paper contains, as a candidate would see it
- Edit — modify the paper (add, remove, or swap questions within the generated paper)
- Delete — remove the paper permanently
Diagnostics Panel
The Control tab in Diagnostics gives an overview of the test's structural health before it is used in a session:
- Time limit — the active time limit (test-level), or “No time limit”
- Section count — total number of sections in the test
- Page count — total number of pages across all sections
- Scoring summary — how many questions are scored vs. non-scored, broken down by type
- Question types — a breakdown of question types in the test
- Dimensions & tags — scoring dimensions and tag distribution across questions
- Per-section breakdown — question count and scoring for each section individually
Use the diagnostics panel before publishing a test to catch configuration issues — such as pages with no questions, or scoring dimensions that are inconsistently assigned.
