The Test Generator allows you to create a test based on specified criteria so that you can quickly generate tests that meet your needs. Create a test from specific question banks, metadata criteria, and specific question types.

You must have already created questions or imported question banks to enable creating a test from the Test Generator.

The below sections will walk you through each step to create your test.

Choose Question Banks

When selecting question banks, you will see the number of questions available based on your selection displayed in the lower left.

Select the Question banks or Uncategorized questions to pull from using the checkboxes on the left.

Once you select a question bank, it will appear on the right side.
If you want to use your entire content library when generating the test, click Add All to quickly select all question banks and uncategorized questions.

You will only see an option for Uncategorized Questions if you have questions that are not part of a question bank.
Optionally, use the search bar to search for a question bank by name.

Searching for a question bank filters available and selected banks based on the entered text.
Optionally, you can remove banks one-by-one using the X icon or choose to Remove All.
When at least one question bank is selected, click Next.

Filter Based on Metadata

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

Select a metadata category on the left or click Next in the lower right to proceed without filtering by metadata.

Categories display the number of available metadata tags for that category.
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
Optionally, use the search bar to search for a metadata tag by name.
Optionally, you can remove metadata one-by-one using the X icon or choose to Remove All.
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.

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 available 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.
Optionally, you can remove all questions by clicking Remove All.
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.
