Rearranging Questions on Tests

When you make a new test, questions remain in the order that you create when you transfer items from the testbank. You can leave questions in this "user-defined" order or choose a SmartSort. When you choose a User-Defined order for a test, you can choose the exact order for the test questions. The program will not reorder the questions in any way unless you print multiple forms and request scrambling or use a scrambled order for web tests.

When questions are in User-Defined order, you can change the order of the questions by dragging them from one location to another. Select a question on the test by clicking to the left of the question number so the background of the question changes color. Then click on the question, hold down the mouse button, and drag the question until a horizontal line appears below the question where you want to insert. Release the mouse button to drop the question.

You can also use cut-and-paste to move questions.

To have TestGen automatically sort questions by testbank order, question type, or difficulty, or by other custom criteria, choose one of the question sorting options on the Sort dialog.
