Step by step, with screenshots. **Quizzes** in the sidebar holds two kinds of tests, built with the same editor: | | **Exam** | **Quiz** | | :- | :- | :- | | What it is | A standalone mock exam, sold on its own in the **Exam Catalog**. | A test inside a training, placed in one of its chapters. | | Learners find it in | **My Content → My Exam Simulator**. | The training's **Course Content** panel. | | Has its own price | Yes. | No: it comes with the training. | > [!NOTE] > > Everything below is for the **web app** on a computer, signed in as an **Admin**. *** ## Table of contents * **Step 1 — Open the exams and quizzes** * **Step 2 — Preview an exam and its questions** * **Step 3 — Create an exam or a quiz: Training and Chapter** * **Step 4 — Basic Info** * **Step 5 — Write the questions** * **Step 6 — Publish and give access** * **Good to know** *** ## Step 1 — Open the exams and quizzes Click **Quizzes** in the sidebar. Two tabs sit at the top: **Exams** and **Quizzes**. ![The Exams table with titles, instructor, learners, number of questions, price and status](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/iD9utH4spO50op0r/images/admin-guide/exams/01-exams.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iD9utH4spO50op0r\&q=85\&s=ffecea67d38e06b4717b09822842a33d) The Exams tab. The **Exams** tab lists every standalone exam with its **Created By** instructor, **Learners**, number of **Questions**, **Price** and **Status** (**Published** or **Draft**). ![The Quizzes table with each quiz's related training and related chapter](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/iD9utH4spO50op0r/images/admin-guide/exams/07-quizzes.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iD9utH4spO50op0r\&q=85\&s=6ffc5b82ccd18c81c8a49b96255ed21d) The Quizzes tab, grouped by training. The **Quizzes** tab adds the **Related Training** and **Related Chapter** of each quiz. **Grouped by training** keeps the quizzes of the same training together. The **⋯** menu of a row offers: | Action | Exams | Quizzes | | :- | :- | :- | | **Preview** | ✓ | ✓ | | **Draft** / **Publish** | ✓ | ✓ | | **Update** | ✓ | ✓ | | **Assign learners** / **Unassign learners** | ✓ | — (they come with the training) | | **Learners' emails** | ✓ | — | | **Import Questions** | ✓ | ✓ | | **Archive** | ✓ | ✓ | *** ## Step 2 — Preview an exam and its questions **⋯ → Preview** opens the exam's page as learners see it: number of questions, duration, attempts, breaks, passing grade and views. ![The exam page of PMP Examen Blanc 12 FR with its rules and the Preview all the questions button](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/iD9utH4spO50op0r/images/admin-guide/exams/02-exam-preview.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iD9utH4spO50op0r\&q=85\&s=731a885344f5ba0f800e30ed6a51c68a) Previewing an exam. Click **Preview all the questions** to go through the questions one by one, each with its **Correct Answer** in green and its **Explanation**. The **Question panel** on the right jumps to any question, and **Quit Exam** brings you back. Nothing is recorded: it is a read-only preview. ![Question 1 of 199 with the correct answer highlighted, the explanation and the question panel](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/iD9utH4spO50op0r/images/admin-guide/exams/03-questions-preview.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iD9utH4spO50op0r\&q=85\&s=712e04983c7ade7fad58fb4a69d11e85) Previewing the questions. *** ## Step 3 — Create an exam or a quiz: Training and Chapter Click **Create Exam** (on the **Exams** tab) or **Create Quiz** (on the **Quizzes** tab). The editor has four steps: **Training**, **Chapter**, **Basic Info** and **Questions**. ![The Select a Training step, with the list of trainings and the Your selection panel](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/iD9utH4spO50op0r/images/admin-guide/exams/04-create-exam-training.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iD9utH4spO50op0r\&q=85\&s=715d298bfa6f673534438933ca1652c7) Step 1: pick a training, or skip it for a standalone exam. **1. For a quiz: pick the training** Tick the training the quiz belongs to (**Search trainings by name…** finds it), then **Continue to chapters** and pick the chapter it goes into. **2. For an exam: skip both steps** Pick nothing and click **Continue** twice. The steps show **Standalone exam**: the exam is sold on its own. **Your selection** on the right recalls your choice, and **Reset** clears it. Changing the training resets the chapter, but keeps the basic info and the questions. *** ## Step 4 — Basic Info ![The Basic Info step with the Identity, Pricing & revenue and Attempt rules sections, and the checklist](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/iD9utH4spO50op0r/images/admin-guide/exams/05-create-exam-basic-info.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iD9utH4spO50op0r\&q=85\&s=1993d6e2a82a46183921b651aec06fd4) Step 3: Basic Info. | Section | Fields | | :- | :- | | **Identity** | **Exam Name**, **Description** (optional, learners read it before they start), **Exam Category** and **Instructor**. | | **Pricing & revenue** | **Price**, optional **Discounted Price**, **Instructor revenue percentage**. The line underneath shows what the student pays, what the instructor earns and what the platform keeps. | | **Attempt rules** | **Exam Duration** (hours and minutes), **Max Attempts** (0 means unlimited), **Passing Percentage %** (70 by default) and **Has pause ?**: a break after a set number of questions, during which the timer stops. | The **Checklist** on the right counts what is left, and the **Catalog Preview** shows the card. Click **Save & continue**: the exam is created **as a draft**, so you can add its questions. *** ## Step 5 — Write the questions ![The Questions step with the list of questions on the left and the editor of question 1 on the right](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/iD9utH4spO50op0r/images/admin-guide/exams/06-exam-questions.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iD9utH4spO50op0r\&q=85\&s=023ad5e1d1cd32e1bd6b0f873852ce21) Step 4: Questions. **1. Add a question** Click **Add New Question** at the bottom of the list. **2. Choose the Answer type** **Single Choice** (one correct answer), **Multiple Choices** (several correct), **True Or False** (a statement to judge) or **Drag and Drop** (match items to groups). Each one is explained below, with a screenshot. **3. Write the question** Type the **Question**. You can add a **Question image** (JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP) with **Choose image**. **4. Write the answers** Fill in the answers and mark the right one (or ones). How depends on the type: see **The four answer types** below. **5. Add an explanation** Click **Add Explanation** under the answers, write why the right answer is right (bold, colors and lists are available) and click the button at the bottom of the window. The question then shows **Added**, and **update Explanation** opens it again. Learners read it after their attempt, next to the correct answer. ![The Update Explanation for question 1 window with the explanation text and the formatting toolbar](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e/images/admin-guide/exams/12-explanation.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e\&q=85\&s=d4b4c258a208938782aba18bbd0fe59f) The explanation of a question, opened with update Explanation. **6. Submit** When every question is complete, click **Submit** at the top right. The list on the left shows every question with its type. Filter it by type, search it with **Search questions…**, drag the handles to reorder, and use **Previous question** / **Next question** to move through them. A question with something missing is flagged: the editor will not submit until it is fixed. The bin icon at the top right of a question deletes it. ### The four answer types The **Answer type** at the top of a question decides what you fill in and what learners do. A question is right or wrong as a whole: learners get no half points. | Answer type | Use it for | Learners | Counted right when | | :- | :- | :- | :- | | **Single Choice** | One right answer among several | Pick one answer | They pick the right answer | | **Multiple Choices** | Two or more right answers | Tick several answers | They tick every right answer and no wrong one | | **True Or False** | A statement that is true or false | Pick **True** or **False** | They pick the right one | | **Drag and Drop** | Sorting items into groups | Drag each item into a group | Every group holds exactly its own items | Switching a question to another type starts its answers over. Switching back to the type it was saved with brings its saved answers back. ### Single Choice ![A Single Choice question with four answers; the second one, The project charter, is marked Correct](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e/images/admin-guide/exams/08-single-choice.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e\&q=85\&s=14dab6b2f07ed2754faf65c56e7bdea7) A Single Choice question, with The project charter marked Correct. A new question starts with three empty answers: type them, click **Add answer** for more, and use the ✕ to remove one. Click the circle in front of the right answer: it turns purple and shows **Correct**. Only one answer can be marked. The question shows **Complete** once every answer is typed and one is marked. ### Multiple Choices ![A Multiple Choices question with four answers; Sprint Review and Daily Scrum are ticked and marked Correct, 2 of 4 marked correct](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e/images/admin-guide/exams/09-multiple-choices.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e\&q=85\&s=5aebe8f4e3ed4c1b9e5a6ee3d82e597a) A Multiple Choices question, with two of its four answers marked correct. Tick the box in front of each right answer: it shows **Correct**, and the count at the top right follows (**2 of 4 marked correct**). Mark at least two answers; for a question with one right answer, use **Single Choice**. During the exam, learners see how many answers to tick (**Please select 2 answer(s)**). The note under the answers recalls the rule: they must tick all the correct answers and none of the wrong ones. ### True Or False ![A True Or False question: a statement about the Product Owner, and the True card marked as the correct answer](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e/images/admin-guide/exams/10-true-or-false.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e\&q=85\&s=3abb0d4d56404d02c11c3a6597058304) A True Or False question, with True as the correct answer. Write a statement in **Question**. The two answers, **True** and **False**, are already there: under **Correct answer**, click the right one. It turns purple and shows **Marked as the correct answer**. ### Drag and Drop ![A Drag and Drop question: the Predictive group holds two items, the Agile group holds two items, and no item is left to place](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e/images/admin-guide/exams/11-drag-and-drop.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=MPCjG11AnFIn2r7e\&q=85\&s=e30eabc681663ce82de8217fda8542b9) A Drag and Drop question, with four items sorted into two groups. 1. **Add the items.** Type one in **Write something and press Enter to add item** and press **Enter**: it joins the items to place, under the field. The ✕ on an item deletes it. 2. **Name the groups.** Two are there to start, **Group 1** and **Group 2**: click a name to change it. **Create Category** adds a group, and the ✕ next to a name removes it (a question keeps at least two groups). 3. **Drag each item onto its group.** The count at the bottom of the group follows (**2 Items**). The ✕ on an item inside a group sends it back to the items to place. The question is complete once no item is left to place and every group has a name and at least one item. If it still shows **Needs attention** after the last item, go to another question and back. Learners see the group names and all the items mixed together, and drag each item into a group. > [!NOTE] > > **Preview all the questions** shows a Drag and Drop question the way learners get it, without > its answer. > [!TIP] > > Have your questions in a file already? **⋯ → Import Questions** on the exam's row imports them > from a JSON file. To get a backup, the cloud icon at the top right of the tab offers **Single > Export** (one exam or quiz) and **Export All** (all of them in a ZIP file). *** ## Step 6 — Publish and give access * **Publish**: open **⋯** on the row and click **Publish**. The exam appears in the **Exam Catalog** (a quiz appears in its training's chapter). **Draft** hides it again. * **Give an exam without an order**: **⋯ → Assign learners**, tick the learners, **Confirm**. It appears in their **My Exam Simulator**. **Unassign learners** removes it. * **Change it later**: **⋯ → Update** opens the same four steps. The header shows whether the exam is **Published**. *** ## Good to know > [accordion] When do learners see the explanations? > > After an attempt: in **Review Answers**, each question has a **See Explanation** button next to > the right answer. > [accordion] How many attempts do learners get? > > The number set in **Max Attempts**; 0 means unlimited.
