# Create Your First Exam in 5 Minutes

> A quick-start guide to creating your first exam in CBT Indolat, from setting up a question package to participants taking it and downloading the results.

Hi! Welcome to the Indolat Quick Start guide.

In this guide, you will create an exam and get it ready for participants to take. Advanced settings are left out for now. We'll focus on **the main steps you'll use most often**.

## Parts of an Exam

Put simply, creating an exam involves four parts:

1. **Question Package**: where a set of questions is stored, often called a question bank.
2. **Exam**: the main event that participants take part in.
3. **Test**: a part or subject inside an exam.
4. **Exam Session**: the schedule on which participants take the exam.

💡 For example, say you are the **owner of Indolat Tutoring Centre** and you are running a **Grand Tryout to prepare for SNBT 2027** (a tryout is a practice exam; SNBT is Indonesia's national university entrance test):

* Question package: **Mathematical Reasoning Package**
* Exam: **SNBT 2027 Grand Tryout**
* Test: **Mathematics**
* Exam session: **Morning Session, 10:00–12:00**

Once you understand this structure, you can start by preparing a question package! 🚀

## 1. Create a Question Package

Before running an exam, first set up a **container** for the questions participants will answer.

**A question package stores all the questions together with their answers**; you could also call it a question bank. Next, choose the package type: **CBT/CAT** or **Essay/File Upload**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **CBT/CAT** and **Essay/File Upload** question packages **can't be combined** in one question package. If your exam needs both kinds of questions, create two separate question packages and add them as separate tests.
>
> Example:
>
> * Question package 1: **Mathematics Multiple Choice** — CBT/CAT type
> * Question package 2: **Mathematics Essay** — Essay/File Upload type
>
> This way, each question package has a clear way of answering and grading.

**2. Fill In the Question Details**

![Question details form](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/Lengkapi-informasi-soal.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=43ea95f77bd49da96556947d2540cd56)

After you click **Add Question**, the system shows the fields for adding a question to the package.

Start with the **Question** section, then set:

* **Question Type**: decides what kind of question participants will answer:

  ![Question Type options](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/image-19.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=3f02f5f8d9219692a5fe13bc2a0f1b97)

  1. **Multiple Choice**\
     Participants choose the one correct answer.\
     Example: *The capital of Indonesia is ...*\
     A. Bandung\
     B. Jakarta\
     C. Surabaya
  2. **Short Answer**\
     Participants type a short answer, either a number or text. You can set more than one answer that counts as correct. Set the key in the **Answer Key** section that appears when you choose this type: **Answer Format** (**Text** or **Number**), **Main Answer Key** and **Other Accepted Answers**.\
     Example: *The capital of Indonesia is ...*\
     Correct answers: **DKI Jakarta** or **Jakarta**
  3. **Complex Multiple Response (True/False, Fact/Opinion, etc.)**\
     For each statement, participants choose one of two labels. The labels can be True/False, Fact/Opinion, Matches/Does Not Match, Agree/Disagree, Yes/No or any other labels you set. Choose them in **Label Pair** under **Statement Column Labels**; choose **Other labels (type your own)** to write your own.\
     Example:
     * The sun rises in the east — **True**
     * Water freezes at 100°C — **False**
  4. **Matching (Drag & Drop)**\
     Participants pair up the options that belong together. Fill in the pairs in the **Matching Pairs** section (**Statement (Left)** and **Answer (Right)**); the right-hand side is shuffled during the exam.\
     Example:
     * Indonesia → Jakarta
     * Japan → Tokyo
* **Question Group**: groups several questions that share the same material or topic.

  ![Question Group field](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/image-21.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=2cf0435902fa74c8a304e839591c29bf)

  Example: there is one reading passage called **“School Environment”**, and 3 questions are written about it. All three questions can go into the **School Environment** question group. Participants read the same material, then answer several related questions. Another example:

  * Question group: **Reading Text 1**
  * Question 1: What is the main idea of the text?
  * Question 2: Who are the characters in the text?
  * Question 3: What is the conclusion of the text?

  > If each question stands on its own and doesn't use shared material, you can leave **Question Group** empty.
* **Passages**: choose a shared reading text to show above the question text. The list of passages comes from the **Passages** tab of the question package (see the **Create Passages (Shared Reading Texts)** section on the [Create a Question Package](https://help.indolat.com/en/paket-soal/membuat-paket-soal.md) page). Leave it empty if the question doesn't use a reading text.
* **More Than One Answer**: use this when a question has more than one correct answer. This setting only appears for **Multiple Choice** questions.

  ![More Than One Answer setting](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/image-23.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=eb510c5aa90cab6c38fd3a016dd71f26)

  Example: **Select the animals that are mammals:**

  * Cat ✅
  * Cow ✅
  * Chicken
  * Fish

  In this example, participants must select **Cat** and **Cow**.

  > Only turn this setting on if participants are really allowed to select several answers. If there is only one correct answer, leave it off.
* **Question Media**: decides what form the question takes for participants to see or hear.

  ![Question Media options](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/image-24.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=e20c524f6ba60717f3b7579f77ab6af1)

  You can choose more than one **Question Media** for a single question.

  ![Text, image and audio question media selected together](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/image-25.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=14689254addc8843df6f3a0b8fb3c6d0)

  This means one question can combine **text, images and audio**. For example:

  * **Text** to write the question.
  * **Image** to show a chart or an illustration.
  * **Audio** for listening material.

  > Choose the media you need for the kind of question you are creating.

**3. Enter the Question**

![Question Text field on the question form](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/isikan-soal.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=2c2a3bd340752227b3ed0ad7ca0684f7)

In the **Question Text** section, write the question participants will read.

Example:

> A shop gives a 20% discount on a bag. After the discount, the bag costs Rp240,000. The price of the bag before the discount is ....

Use the buttons at the top of the field to format text, create lists, add tables or write maths formulas. The question text can be up to 5,000 characters.

Fill in each answer option as follows:

1. **Answer Media**: Choose the form of the answer, for example text, image or audio.
2. **Answer Key**: Turn this on only for the correct option. If **More Than One Answer** is on, turn it on for every correct option.\
   For example, if the correct answer is **Rp300,000**, turn on **Answer Key** only for that option. Leave it off for the other options.

   ![Answer Key turned on for the correct answer option](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/image-11.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=d9527595b510a76de61e148620d5b559)
3. **Answer Score**: Enter the score for that option. This field is only used by the **Answer Score Calculation (Sum of Answer Scores)** scoring method.\
   For example, a wrong answer can be given a score of **0**.
4. **Answer Group**: Used only by the **Psychometric (Answer Grouping)** scoring method. If you don't use it, you can leave this empty.
5. **Answer Text**: Write the answer option participants will see.
6. **Add Answer**: Click **Add Answer** to create the next answer option.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The **Answer** tab only appears for **Multiple Choice** and **Complex Multiple Response** questions. For **Complex Multiple Response**, each answer holds one statement, and the **Answer Key** toggle is replaced by a **Correct Answer** field where you choose the right label. The key for **Short Answer** and the pairs for **Matching** are filled in on the **Question** tab.

Repeat these steps until all the questions and answers have been added.

   When this is on, participants can register for the exam themselves. This setting needs the **Exam Registration Page and Automatic Payment** add-on. If the add-on isn't active, the setting's label shows **(Add-on Inactive)** and the setting can't be turned on.
2. **Payment Type**\
   Choose **Free** if participants don't need to pay. If the exam is paid, choose the matching payment type.

   ![Payment Type options](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/tipe-pembayaran.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=b715984aec8dca03b299298b776eb354)

   * **Free**: Participants don't need to pay.

     > Example:
     >
     > A free SNBT tryout made up of a Mathematics Test and an Indonesian Language Test. Participants can take all of them **at no cost**.
   * **One-time Payment**: Participants pay once and can then take every test in the exam.

     > Example:
     >
     > The SNBT tryout fee is Rp50,000. After paying, participants can take the Mathematical Reasoning Test, the Indonesian Language Literacy Test and the English Language Literacy Test.
     >
     > Participants don't need to pay again for each test.
   * **Paid per Test**: Participants pay for each test they want to take.

     > Example:
     >
     > Mathematics Test: Rp20,000
     >
     > Indonesian Language Test: Rp15,000
     >
     > English Language Test: Rp15,000
     >
     > Participants who only want to take the Mathematics Test pay just Rp20,000.
   * **Paid per Level (Multi-Level)**: Used for exams made up of several rounds. Participants pay for each round they take part in.

     > Example:
     >
     > Preliminary Round: Rp25,000
     >
     > Semifinal: Rp30,000
     >
     > Final: Rp40,000
     >
     > Participants pay the fee for the next round **only if they qualify**.
3. **One-time Exam Fee (IDR)**\
   The fee participants pay to take the exam. This field appears when the **One-time Payment** payment type is selected.
4. **Assign the Session Automatically After Registration**\
   Turn this on if participants who register successfully should be put into an exam session automatically. If the **Payment Type** is **One-time Payment** or **Paid per Test**, this setting is called **Assign the Session Automatically After Payment**.
5. When you're done, click **Save changes**.

**6. Open the Exam Settings section**

![Exam Settings section on the exam details](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/pengaturan-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=77a86c1c73e4ea4cb4af21e5a93b1523)

In the **Exam Settings** section, you decide the order in which tests are taken and how results are shown.

1. **Is This a Multi-Level Exam?**
   * Choose **Yes (Multi-Level)** if the exam has several rounds, for example **Preliminary Round, Semifinal and Final**.
   * Choose **No** if the exam has only one stage.
2. **Must the Tests Be Taken in Order?**\
   Turn this on if participants must take the tests in the set order.\
   Example: participants must finish the **Mathematics Test** before they can open the **Indonesian Language Test**.
3. **Must the Tests Be Taken in One Sitting?**
   * Turn this on if participants must finish all the tests without stopping or taking a break.
   * If it's off, participants can leave and continue with the next test later, according to the schedule.
4. **Final Score Type**\
   Choose how a participant's final score is derived from the scores of every test:
   * **Accumulated Exam Test Scores**: adds up the score of each test.
   * **Averaged Exam Test Scores**: divides the total by the number of tests already scored. This option is used by default.
5. **Show the Final Exam Score?**
   * Turn this on if participants may see their score after finishing the exam.
   * Turn it off if the scores still need checking or will be announced later.

The **Must the Tests Be Taken in Order?** and **Must the Tests Be Taken in One Sitting?** settings only appear when the exam isn't a multi-level exam. In a multi-level exam, you set both of them for each exam level.

**7. Save the Exam**

![Save button on the exam details](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/simpan-data-ujiannn-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=d025307e4464908dbbdb7c7ea1aff682)

Once you've checked all the settings in **General Information**, **Exam Type & Plan**, **Registration & Payment** and **Exam Settings**, click **Save changes**.

The **Additional Information** section is optional. Use it if you want to show exam-specific information, such as a WhatsApp group link, on the dashboard of participants who have registered.

If the **Saved** notification appears, your exam settings have been saved.

### Create a Test

**1. Click Add Test**

![Add Test button in the Test List section](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/tambah-tes-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=d53433443d20de2fedef1a606171b7dd)

In the **Test List** section, click **Add Test**.

> [!TIP]
>
> If some tests haven't been added to the exam yet, you can add them later with these steps:
>
> 1. Open the **Exam Data** menu.
> 2. Choose the exam whose tests haven't been added yet.
> 3. Click **Details** on that exam.
> 4. Add the tests in the **Test List** section with the **Add Test** button.
>
> ![Test List section on the exam details](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/sub-data-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=7f0c3dd87123d5ba0b4680fcca96f095)

**2. Fill In the Test Details**

![Test details form](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/isi-tes-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=0e402c0d9f53f9dd7c87cd13b4cf4a52)

After you click **Add Test**, the system shows the fields for the test participants will take.

* **Exam Type**: Choose the type of test you are running.

  ![Exam Type options for a test](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/jenis-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=590d4b0124424d432263c417cdf22167)

  1. **Computer Based Test (CBT)**\
     Participants see the questions on screen, then choose or type their answers directly in the system.
     > Example:\
     > A participant sees the question: 10 × 5 = ...
     >
     > Then selects the answer **50** on screen.
  2. **Computer Adaptive Test (CAT)**\
     The next question adapts to the participant's ability. You can only choose this option for a **Professional Exam (Paid Plan)**.
     > Example:\
     > A participant answers the first question correctly. The system then gives a slightly harder question. If the participant answers incorrectly, the system can give an easier or similar question.\
     > **CAT is like an exam that “follows the participant's ability”. The more correct answers, the harder the next questions can get.**
  3. **Essay / File Upload (Manual Grading)**\
     Participants don't choose an answer as they would in a multiple-choice question. They write a long answer or upload a file.
     > Examples:
     >
     > * Writing an essay answer directly in the system.
     > * Uploading a photo of an answer sheet.
     > * Uploading a PDF or Word file.

  > [!TIP]
  >
  > For a regular SNBT tryout, choose **Computer Based Test (CBT)**.
* **Scoring Method**: Decide how the system calculates participants' scores. Every method below is available for **Computer Based Test (CBT)**. A **Computer Adaptive Test (CAT)** test can only use **Question Score Calculation (Sum of Correct/Wrong)**, and an **Essay / File Upload (Manual Grading)** test uses **Manual Scoring**.

  ![Scoring Method options](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/Metode-Penilaian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=2584ba560b23862e4a0c45335945bf42)

  1. **Question Score Calculation (Sum of Correct/Wrong)**\
     The score is calculated from the number of questions answered correctly.

     > Example:
     >
     > * Correct answer: 10 points
     > * Wrong answer: 0 points
     > * The participant answers 8 out of 10 questions correctly
     > * Participant's score: **80**

     Suitable for tryouts or regular multiple-choice exams.
  2. **Answer Score Calculation (Sum of Answer Scores)**\
     Each answer option can carry a different score.

     > Example:
     >
     > Question: *How often do you study in a week?*
     >
     > * Every day: 4 points
     > * 3–4 times: 3 points
     > * 1–2 times: 2 points
     > * Never: 1 point

     The final score is the sum of the scores of all the participant's answers.
  3. **Psychometric (Answer Grouping)**\
     The participant's answers are grouped to reveal certain tendencies or traits.

     > Example:
     >
     > Question: *When working in a group, you prefer to...*
     >
     > * Organise how the tasks are shared → **Leadership** group
     > * Help the other members → **Teamwork** group
     > * Work on your own part → **Independent** group

     The result isn't simply right or wrong; it shows which trait group the participant belongs to.
  4. **Item Response Theory (IRT)**\
     The score doesn't just count correct answers; it also takes the difficulty of each question into account.

     > Example:
     >
     > * Many participants answer the easy questions correctly.
     > * Only a few participants answer the hard questions correctly.
     > * Participants who can answer the hard questions can get a higher ability score.

     This method suits large-scale exams or a deeper analysis of participants' ability. IRT comes in three options:

     * **IRT (UTBK reference, 0-1000)**
     * **IRT TKA for SMA/SMK (200-800)**
     * **IRT TKA for SD/SMP (0-100)**

     All three use the same estimate of the participant's ability; only the reported score range differs. The UTBK and TKA ranges are reference scales, not official equating.

  > [!TIP]
  >
  > For a simple SNBT tryout, choose **Question Score Calculation (Sum of Correct/Wrong)**.
* **Test Name**: Enter a test name that's easy to recognise.\
  Example: **Mathematical Reasoning**.
* **Working Time (minutes)**: Enter how long participants have, in minutes.\
  Example: **60 minutes**. This field doesn't appear for an **Essay / File Upload (Manual Grading)** test.
* **Test Instructions**: Write the instructions participants read before they start.

In the instructions, you can use these placeholders:

* `{{NAMA_TES}}` to show the test name.
* `{{JUMLAH_SOAL}}` to show the number of questions.
* `{{DURASI_TES}}` to show the working time.

Once everything is filled in, click **Create**. Choose **Create & create another** if you want to add the next test straight away.

**3. Open the Test You Created**

![New test in the Test List section](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/buka-tes-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=a8a1827b57bf7f404d65101f26c0c373)

Once the test is created, it appears in the **Test List** section.

💡 Look out for the note **This test has no exam session yet**. It means the test is saved but has no schedule yet, so participants can't take it. Click **Edit** on the test you want to continue with.

**4. Set Up Scores and Results**

![Score & Results section in the test settings](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/skor-dan-hasil.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=1759db6e90070ab0bf19a326d67ded99)

Open the **Score & Results** section, then decide what participants may see after finishing the test.

1. **Show Score**\
   Turn this on if participants may see their score as soon as they finish.
2. **Show Summary**\
   Turn this on if participants may see how many answers they got right and wrong.
3. **Show the Test Explanation (PDF)**\
   Turn this on if you want to share one PDF file with explanations for all the questions. Once it's on, upload the file in the **Test Explanation File (PDF)** field.
4. **Show the Explanation per Question**\
   Turn this on if participants may see the explanation for each question. Make sure the explanation has been filled in for each question in the question package. This setting can't be on at the same time as **Show the Test Explanation (PDF)**.
5. **Save changes**\
   When you're done, click **Save changes**.

> [!TIP]
>
> For a tryout where participants should see their results straight away, turn on **Show Score**.

**5. Set Up Participant Proctoring**

![Proctoring section in the test settings](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/pengawasan.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=568d7824bd1a2ca2051745e01dbc7123)

In the **Proctoring** section, you decide how the system monitors participants during the exam.

1. **Camera Proctoring**\
   Turn this on if participants must keep their camera on while taking the exam.\
   Example: so proctors can make sure participants are doing the exam themselves.
2. **Screen Proctoring (Screen Share)**\
   Turn this on if participants must share their screen during the exam.\
   Example: proctors can see which apps or pages participants have open.
3. **Tab Switch Detection**\
   Turn this on if the system should record when participants open another tab or page during the exam.\
   Example: a participant switches from the exam page to a search engine.
4. **Allow Only One Screen**\
   Turn this on if participants may only use one monitor.\
   This setting suits exams that need stricter proctoring.
5. **Play the Audio Question Once**\
   Turn this on if the audio in a question may only be played once.\
   Example: English listening questions.
6. **Play the Audio Answer Once**\
   Turn this on if the audio in the answer options may only be played once.

When you're done, click **Save changes**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The note **(Feature inactive)** means the feature isn't available for the exam type you are using. For a **Standard Exam (Free Plan)**, it appears on **Camera Proctoring**, **Screen Proctoring (Screen Share)** and **Allow Only One Screen**.
>
> ![Feature inactive notes in the Proctoring settings](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/fitur-standar.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=90adf82162f61ff08078c6e1806d2bcd)

Once the test settings are done, scroll down the page and click **Add Exam Session**.

An exam session is the schedule for a test. In the session, you set the question package to use and the exam's start and end times.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Participants can't take a test until an exam session has been created and a question package chosen. Make sure every test has an exam session.

**2. Fill In the Exam Session Details**

![Exam session details form](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/Informasi-sesi-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=61f3f9f3c189120d93062e84baac27bc)

At this stage, you set the **test schedule** and choose the **question package** participants will answer.

* **Session Name**: Enter a name that's easy to recognise.\
  Example: **Morning Session** or **Session 1**.
* **Question Package**: Choose a question package you've created.\
  Make sure you choose one, because participants can't start a session that has no question package.
* **Session Start Date**: Set the date and time participants can start the test.
* **Session End Date**: Set the deadline for participants to finish the test.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The session dates must fall within the date range you set for the main exam.

Example:

> The exam runs from 18 to 25 July 2026.\
> The session can then be scheduled on 20 July 2026, 08:00–10:00.

Once everything is filled in, click **Create**. Choose **Create & create another** if you want to add the next session straight away.

## 4. (Optional) Create Registration Form Rules

You can add registration form rules to both a **Standard Exam (Free Plan)** and a **Professional Exam (Paid Plan)**, as long as the **Exam Registration Page and Automatic Payment** add-on is active. If the add-on isn't active, the **Registration Form** section shows the **Enable the Registration Form Add-on** button instead of **Add Registration Form**.

**1. Click Add Registration Form**

![Add Registration Form button on the exam details](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/tambah-formulir.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=410282a05a34d5c5cc711110d6ffb1ad)

Open the **Registration Form** section, then click **Add Registration Form**.

**2. Fill In the Registration Form Rules**

![Registration question rule form](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK/images/2026-07-23_19-56.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK\&q=85\&s=74d0495b66a771eb9801f5b051cdfdb9)

1. **Question Template (Optional)**: Choose a template if you want to use a ready-made question.\
   Example: **Payment Method** (only available when the **Payment Type** is **One-time Payment**).\
   If you don't use a template, you can leave this empty.
2. **Is it always shown on the registration form?**\
   Choose **Yes, always shown** if the question must always appear on the registration form.\
   Choose **Show it under certain conditions** if the question should only appear in certain situations.
3. **Is It Required?**\
   Turn this on if participants can't continue registering until they answer the question.
4. **Question Label**\
   Write the name of the information you are asking participants for.\
   Example: **School**, **WhatsApp Number** or **Full Name**.
5. **Question Type**\
   Choose the form of answer participants must give.\
   Examples:
   * **Text (Input Biasa)** (plain text input) for a name, school or phone number.
   * **Select (Dropdown)** or **Radio (Pilihan Tunggal)** (single choice) for answers chosen from a set list.
   * **File (Berkas)** (file upload) for uploading proof of payment or a document.
6. **How to Fill It In**\
   Add guidance so participants know how to answer.\
   Example: *Enter the full name of your school.*
7. **Create**\
   Click **Create** to save the question. Click **Create & create another** if you want to add the next question.

**3. Click Create**

![Create button on the registration question form](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/buat-formulir-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=929046f6a40ab5ddc02bf20f0d3042de)

![New question in the Registration Form section](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/simpan-formulir.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=9d2274e0a2bbccfaac42791e13be8d4a)

The form rule is saved.

> [!TIP]
>
> You **may** skip this registration form step for any exam type. If the exam has a registration form, participants who register themselves get the **Awaiting Verification** status until an admin verifies them, unless you turn off **Does the Registration Form Need Verification?** under the settings (cog) icon in the **Registration Form** section. Without a registration form, participants are registered straight away without verification.

## 5. Set the Participant Quota

Enter how many participants may register for the exam.

💡 **For example:**

You only have **200 places** for the 2027 Mathematics Competition. Once 200 participants have registered, anyone else can't continue registering.

**1. Open the exam details**

![Details button on an exam on the Exam Data page](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/7do3qS6NXTikDaVf/images/2026-07-27_20-42.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=7do3qS6NXTikDaVf\&q=85\&s=632e31a99e624a37ca4e8ae141c6b145)

Open the **Exam Data** menu, then click **Details** on the exam you created.

**2. Open the Registration Form settings**

![Settings icon in the Registration Form section](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/7do3qS6NXTikDaVf/images/2026-07-27_20-34.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=7do3qS6NXTikDaVf\&q=85\&s=b6f9f9869006b5f98850f284d6ceff8a)

Open the **Registration Form** section, then click the settings (cog) icon.

**3. Fill In the Maximum Registration Quota**

![Maximum Registration Quota field in the registration form settings](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/7do3qS6NXTikDaVf/images/2026-07-27_20-35.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=7do3qS6NXTikDaVf\&q=85\&s=124dc8bccc671ffa52d6491db232b665)

You can set the number to suit your needs. Once the number of registrations reaches the maximum quota, anyone else can't continue registering.

> [!TIP]
>
> Leave this field empty if you don't want to limit the number of participants.

When the setting is right, click **Update Settings**.

## 6. Manage Participant Accounts

The next step is to make sure participants have accounts and are registered for the exam.

There are two ways to add participants:

1. **Participants register themselves (self-registration)**, which suits exams open to the public.
2. **You (the organiser) add the participants**, which suits internal exams at a school, institution or tutoring centre.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Every exam participant, whether they registered themselves or were added by an admin, **must be connected to an exam session** before they can start answering questions.

On the participant's side, a test that has no exam session yet shows a **Locked** button, so it can't be taken yet. If the participant's registration is still awaiting admin verification, the exam shows a **Verification in Progress** button, as in the example below.

![Verification in Progress status on the participant's exam list](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/verifikasi.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=b369ca06bf7e8cb628e97621030f2d61)

💡 You can assign exam sessions to participants one at a time or in bulk.

![Participants without a session ticked and the Bulk actions button](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/kolektif.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=ac6e0dc62515b7f2cc438eefcb9da7c6)

![Assign Exam Sessions in Bulk option in the bulk actions menu](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/set.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=bac55104330ce46c8149cb78a870768c)

Once participants are assigned to a session, they can start the exam according to the session's schedule.

## 7. Reports and Evaluation

Everything is ready. The questions are created, the exam is scheduled and participants are in their sessions. Your exam is ready to go! 🚀

### Monitor the Exam While It Runs

Open the **Exam Monitoring** menu.

![Exam Monitoring page](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/monitoring-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=600d8821f74009e2762a625fd3b904ab)

On this page, you can check:

* who is currently taking the exam,
* who hasn't started yet,
* how much time is left,
* and each participant's exam status.

This way, you don't need to check participants one by one.

### View the Results After the Exam

Open the **Test History** menu.

![Test History page](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/riwayat-tes-ujian.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=8dd81368c00b0e8258afcb3d878308e6)

This page lists the tests participants have finished. On that page, you can see:

* participants' scores (**Test Score**),
* when they started and finished,
* and the answers each participant chose, by clicking **View**.

  ![View button in Test History](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/lihat-riwayat-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=fc7d5fc1d6b70b77c914e81edb69bd19)

  ![Participant's answer details in the test history](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7/images/detail-riwayat-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w32v_kPLyQnzLAH7\&q=85\&s=eca782f2c641bc6e2873962948e4d11c)

> [!TIP]
>
> Use this data to review the exam results and see which participants have finished their tests.

### Calculate IRT Scores

You only need this section if you chose one of the **IRT** scoring methods.

With IRT, participants' scores **don't appear straight away** after the exam ends. The system has to run a calculation first.

![Calculate Score button with the IRT Calculation option](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6/images/perhitungan-irt.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=TbCzEKi3NXCbZoA6\&q=85\&s=41e53dd8e3f9a9cd278babce345f0d12)

Once all participants have finished:

1. Open the **Exam Data** menu.
2. Choose the exam to calculate, then click **Details**.
3. Click **Calculate Score** → **IRT Calculation**, then confirm.
4. Wait until the calculation is finished. The system sends a notification when it's done.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You can only click **IRT Calculation** once at least one participant has finished a test, nobody is still taking it and no other IRT calculation is running. This option isn't available for multi-level exams.

> [!TIP]
>
> If you don't use an IRT scoring method, you can skip this step.

### Download the Exam Results Report

Once the exam is over, you can save participants' results as an Excel file.

**1. Open the Exam Data menu**

![Exam Data menu and the Details button on an exam](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK/images/2026-07-19_10-43.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK\&q=85\&s=ed35e0dc5a8f695bf11a17bc158ad592)

![Export Data menu with the Test Results option](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK/images/2026-07-19_10-44-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK\&q=85\&s=ab09f96722e5105ff70f3b659e609672)

1. Choose the exam whose results you want to export.
2. Click **Details**.
3. In the top-right corner, click **Export Data**, then choose **Test Results** and confirm.
4. The system prepares the Excel file in the background and sends a notification when it's ready.

**2. Open the Download Export Results menu**

![Download File button on the Download Export Results page](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK/images/2026-07-19_10-45_1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK\&q=85\&s=26999a233cbf7a3e88d3754ff97c6052)

![Example Excel file of participants' exam results](https://mintcdn.com/indolat/b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK/images/2026-07-19_10-46-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=b86OPs_M5Jzn7OUK\&q=85\&s=33417e64cad5ebc118b2baff4e19f9ad)

Once the file is ready, open the **Download Export Results** menu, then click **Download File** next to the export to download the report as an Excel file. You can use the downloaded file to:

* compile a score summary,
* keep an archive of the exam,
* share the results with the people involved,
* or carry out further data processing.

> [!TIP]
>
> That's it: you've completed the whole exam process, from preparing the questions to viewing and downloading participants' results.
