ExamView Assessment Suite 15
Enter Your Own Questions
When you build a test using ExamView Test Generator, you select questions from question banks. A question bank (or bank)
is a collection of questions and all of the related items (images, equations, learning objectives, standards, etc.) stored in one
file. Each question bank may contain up to 250 questions, but you can have an unlimited number of banks. Typically, questions
are organized into banks by chapter or lesson.
Using the ExamView Test Generator, you can:
l
Enter new questions or edit existing questions.
l
Copy and paste questions from another source.
l
Using the ExamView Import Utility, import questions from an RTF file.
IMPORTANT
You can create a new question or edit a question while building a test. However, editing a question
after it is included on a test does not change the original question in the question bank. You must
edit or add new questions in a question bank to make them available as you build tests.
Question Bank Basics
If you have not used ExamView Test Generator to create your own questions, consider the information in this section before
you get started. For example, you can include more information than just the question (e.g., answer, learning objective or
standard, student feedback, etc.).
Question Types
When you create your own questions, you can include one or more of the following question types:
True/False Yes/No Problem
Modified True/False Numeric Response Essay
Multiple Choice Completion Case
Multiple Response Matching Other

NOTE
A bimodal question can be displayed as a short answer or a multiple choice question on a test.

Questions can include optional information that is useful when creating a test. For example, you can include learning objectives
(or standards) and then select questions based on those objectives. You can also use this information to generate class and
student reports. You can enter any or all of the following information with each question.
