Step 1 — Open your exams and quizzes

Click Quizzes in the sidebar. Two tabs sit at the top: Exams and Quizzes.

The Exams table with titles, learners, number of questions, price and status — The Exams tab.

The Quizzes table with each quiz's related training and related chapter — The Quizzes tab, grouped by training.

Each row shows the number of Learners, of Questions, the Price (exams only) and the Status: Published or Draft. On the Quizzes tab, Related Training and Related Chapter say where each quiz sits. The ⋯ menu of a row offers Preview, Update and Import Questions (from a JSON file).

Step 2 — 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 — Step 1: pick a training, or skip it for a standalone exam.

For a quiz: tick the training it belongs to, click Continue to chapters, then pick the chapter.
For an exam: pick nothing and click Continue twice. The steps show Standalone exam.

Reset clears your choice. Changing the training resets the chapter, but keeps the basic info and the questions.

Step 3 — Basic Info

The Basic Info step with the Identity, Pricing & revenue and Attempt rules sections and the checklist — Step 3: Basic Info.

Section	Fields
Identity	Exam Name, Description (optional, learners read it before they start) and Exam Category.
Pricing & revenue	Price and an optional Discounted Price. The line underneath shows what the student pays, what you earn and what the platform keeps.
Attempt rules	Exam Duration, 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.

Click Save & continue: the exam is created as a draft and the Questions step opens.

Step 4 — Write the questions

The Questions step with the list of questions on the left and the editor of question 1 on the right — Step 4: Questions.

Add a question

Click Add New Question at the bottom of the list.

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.

Write the question and the answers

Type the Question and add a Question image if needed (JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP). Then fill in the answers and mark the right one (or ones): how depends on the type, see The four answer types below.

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 — The explanation of a question, opened with update Explanation.

Submit

When every question is complete, click Submit at the top right.

The list on the left filters questions by type and searches them; drag the handles to reorder. A question with something missing is flagged, and the editor will not submit until it is fixed.

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 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

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

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

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.
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).
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.

Preview all the questions shows a Drag and Drop question the way learners get it, without its answer.

Step 5 — Preview it and get it published

⋯ → Preview opens the exam’s page as learners see it (questions, duration, attempts, passing grade). Preview all the questions goes through each question with its correct answer and its explanation, without recording anything. When the exam is ready, ask an admin to publish it: it then appears in the Exam Catalog (a quiz appears in its training’s chapter).

Good to know

Can I change an exam later?

Yes: ⋯ → Update opens the same four steps. The header shows whether it is Published.

Can I import questions instead of typing them?

Yes: ⋯ → Import Questions on the exam’s row, then pick a JSON file.

How many attempts do learners get?

The number in Max Attempts; 0 means unlimited. Each start of the exam uses one attempt.
