Choosing Randomly

To can choose questions randomly by question type, chapter/section, topic, objective, or other categories that appear on the drop-down list. The items available on the list vary by testbank, since not all categories are used in all testbanks.

Type numbers in the right-hand column to indicate how many of each type you want from the number of questions available. Click OK to continue to the test summary.

Note: Matching items are not included in random selections. Also, the scrambled order produced by a random selection might not be suitable for testbank questions that rely on a fixed order.

Choosing from a List

Select questions by holding down the [Shift] key (to make consecutive selections) or the [Ctrl] key (to make scattered selections) and clicking each item you want to put on the test. Click OK to continue to the test summary.
