Wrap Things Up
1 Save the question bank.
2 Print a copy of the questions and review them.
Remember that you can use the spell check to check an entire question bank at one time. Review the questions,
answers, and question information. A completed version of the sample bank is shown on the following pages.
TIP
If some of the question information does not appear with the question, use the Preferences
layout options to change the defaults.
3 Double-click a question or narrative to edit it or, highlight an item and click Edit.
4 Click Save on the toolbar and enter a file name.
Use a descriptive name that is 27 or fewer characters in length. Make file names consistent for the entire project.
EXAMPLE

5 Create a test using the question bank you just created.
a Click File and select Switch to Test Builder. Create a new test. Save the question bank if necessary.
b Enter a test title.
c Select the question bank you just created.
d Use any of the question selection methods to create a test.
TIP
Notice that when you build a test, the instructions for the objective questions
automatically appear.
6 Close the program.
After you close the program, use Windows® Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac) to take a look at the question bank size.
Navigate to EV Tutorial in the Banks folder in the ExamView program folder. You may have to select the option to view
the details to see the file size. As discussed earlier in this authoring guide, you want to keep the file size for any bank
under 1Mb (or 1,000K)—preferably a lot smaller.
Copying and Pasting Questions
If you have questions in another format (e.g., word processor, another test generator, database, etc.), you can copy and paste
questions from that program into ExamView Test Generator. While this is a simple process, it can be time consuming. Usually,
the copy and paste method is best for just a few questions.
NOTE
If you have many questions in a word processor format such as Microsoft Word, you can use the
ExamView Import Utility (Windows only) to quickly import your questions. For more information,
see
Importing Questions from a Word Processor (PC Only) on page 23.
