# Create Exams and Quizzes

> Create a standalone mock exam or a quiz inside one of your trainings, set its rules and write its questions. 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 **Instructor**.

## 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](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/mW47iWgR0oToq_qs/images/instructor-guide/exams/01-exams.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mW47iWgR0oToq_qs\&q=85\&s=04a7ef02a700775486a739cc62784c41)

The Exams tab.

![The Quizzes table with each quiz's related training and related chapter](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/mW47iWgR0oToq_qs/images/instructor-guide/exams/02-quizzes.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mW47iWgR0oToq_qs\&q=85\&s=5df7e6cc1be7dae30ac17102eb8c4965)

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](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/mW47iWgR0oToq_qs/images/instructor-guide/exams/03-create-exam-training.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mW47iWgR0oToq_qs\&q=85\&s=aa22e19cef27020852f46d08f0a2f614)

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](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/mW47iWgR0oToq_qs/images/instructor-guide/exams/04-create-exam-basic-info.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mW47iWgR0oToq_qs\&q=85\&s=905afb79d615c97c2ce686c1c244e0b6)

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](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/mW47iWgR0oToq_qs/images/instructor-guide/exams/05-exam-questions.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=mW47iWgR0oToq_qs\&q=85\&s=5ee3c49d7044b3964960f0bc036def53)

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 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.

**4. 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/an7xPKtnijFP_Ner/images/instructor-guide/exams/10-explanation.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=an7xPKtnijFP_Ner\&q=85\&s=929020dd623fce559e3d51bfe832c2b0)

The explanation of a question, opened with update Explanation.

**5. 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 Single Choice question with four answers; the second one, The project charter, is marked Correct](https://mintcdn.com/docs-strived/an7xPKtnijFP_Ner/images/instructor-guide/exams/06-single-choice.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=an7xPKtnijFP_Ner\&q=85\&s=f4bf0de265fa82843baf80ffa207258d)

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/an7xPKtnijFP_Ner/images/instructor-guide/exams/07-multiple-choices.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=an7xPKtnijFP_Ner\&q=85\&s=25bfb51a3fea6c537fc4703bcbbda988)

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/an7xPKtnijFP_Ner/images/instructor-guide/exams/08-true-or-false.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=an7xPKtnijFP_Ner\&q=85\&s=39bcca2a633cac46c008e1ab3d980dbb)

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/an7xPKtnijFP_Ner/images/instructor-guide/exams/09-drag-and-drop.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=an7xPKtnijFP_Ner\&q=85\&s=10847aae381bb9ee5a5091ef25c5d258)

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.

***

## 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).
