Mixing Question Types on a Test

Mixing Question Types on a Test

By default, questions are grouped by type (e.g., multiple choice, true/false, etc.). Follow the steps below to mix question types.

The instructions that appear with each question type will not display if you choose to allow for mixed question types. To include instructions for specific questions, add the instructions to the question or the question narrative.

1. Click .

   Optionally, click Edit from the menu bar, select Preferences, click Layout, select the Question Types tab, select Allow question types to be mixed and click OK.

   The Preferences window opens.

   (Click Save As Default if you want all future tests to allow for mixed question types.)

1. Allowing for mixed question types does not automatically mix your questions. Once you allow for mixed question types, you should reorder or sort your questions to mix them.
