Adding Questions to a Test

Accessing the Question Panel

To begin adding questions, navigate to the Tests module and open the test you want to edit. Then:

1. Select the section and the page where you want to place your question.
2. Click on the page to open its content area.
3. Click the + Add Question button on the right panel.

A dropdown menu will appear with several options for inserting content:

• Content – Add non-question material (e.g., instructions, context).

• Create a Question – Start a new question from scratch.

• Browse Question Bank – Reuse existing questions.

• Random Question Selector – Build a dynamic pool for randomized delivery.

• Browse Content Groups – Add a group of related questions in one go.

Option 1: Create a New Question

1. Select Create a Question from the dropdown.
2. Choose a question type from the popup (e.g., Multiple Choice, Coding, Short Text, etc.).
3. Enter your question content and configure the options.
4. Save the question to insert it directly onto the page.

Option 2: Add from the Question Bank

1. Click Browse Question Bank.
2. Use folders, filters, and views to find your desired question(s).
3. Choose how to insert: "Reference Question" keeps questions linked to their original in the bank so that updates apply globally while "Copy Question" creates a standalone duplicate.
4. Optionally mark the question as "Required" for rendering it as must be answered by test-takers and "Ineffective" for it to be included in the test but excluded from scoring.
5. Click Save to confirm and add the question to the page.

Option 3: Use the Random Question Selector

Create dynamic test variations by selecting a pool of questions and defining how many should be randomly drawn per test-taker.

1. Choose Random Question Selector from the dropdown.
2. Click the + icon to add questions to the pool.
3. Select questions from folders and confirm.
4. Configure the selector settings (e.g., number of questions to display).
5. Save the selector to embed it in your test page.

Each test-taker will see a different subset of questions drawn from the pool, enhancing fairness and reducing predictability.

Option 4: Add from Content Groups

Use this option to insert pre-bundled composite questions linked to a shared piece of content (like an image, video, or article).

1. Select Browse Content Groups.
2. Use the Search Bar (Optional) to quickly locate relevant composites by typing a keyword (e.g., “Reading”).
3. Apply Filter (Optional): Click the filter icon to refine results by folder categories. Check one or more folders to narrow down the list. Click “Apply” to confirm your filter selection.
4. Choose one or more composites by clicking the radio button beside the title.
5. Click “Add Selected Composite” to insert the selected composite(s) into your test.

Managing Questions on the Page

Once questions are added, you can manage them directly on the page:

• Reorder using the up/down arrows.

• Edit or delete any question with the action buttons.

• Assign Dimensions to categorize by subject area.

• Check question origin to view if it’s linked to the question bank.
