The Test Generator enables you to create customized tests based on your requirements. To meet your needs, you can generate tests using selected question banks, metadata filters, and preferred question types.

   Once you select a question bank, it will appear on the right side.

   You will only see an option for Uncategorized Questions if you have questions not part of a question bank.

Filter Based on Metadata

When selecting metadata, you will see the number of questions available based on your criteria.

   Categories display the number of available metadata tags for that category.

2. Select one or multiple metadata tag(s) using the checkboxes in the table in the middle.
   

   Selected metadata appears on the right side under the category heading

3. Optionally, use the search bar to find a metadata tag by name.
4. Optionally, you can remove metadata one-by-one using the X icon or choose to Remove All.
5. When at least one metadata tag is selected, click Next.

Select Question Types

When selecting the number of questions for each type, you will see the total number of questions across all of the question types so you can easily see the number of questions in your test before you create it.

1. In the box next to a question type, enter the number of questions to include on the test or choose Add All to add all questions to the test.
   

   All question types are listed whether they have questions to include or not. There is no limit to the number of questions you can add to your test.

   The number entered into the text box cannot exceed the available questions for any type.

2. Optionally, you can remove all questions by clicking Remove All.
3. Click Create to add selected questions to your test.
   

   Questions of each type are selected randomly from the question bank and metadata tags.

Your test will be created by randomly selecting questions that meet your question bank, metadata, and question type selections, and the Test Editor will open. From here, you can configure additional question and test options.
