• and add or delete questions.

• Question Type: sets the kind of question participants will answer:
  
  1. Multiple Choice
     Participants choose one correct answer.
     Example: The capital of Indonesia is …
     A. Bandung
     B. Jakarta
     C. Surabaya
  2. Short Answer
     Participants type a short answer as 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.)
     Participants choose one of two labels for each statement. 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 items 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.
  
  Example: there is one reading text called “School Environment”, and 3 questions are based on it. All three questions can go into the School Environment question group, so participants read the same material and 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 is the character 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. A question group only groups questions; to show the reading text to participants, save it as a passage.
• 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). Leave it empty if the question doesn’t use a reading text.
• More Than One Answer: use this if a question has more than one correct answer.
  
  Example: Choose the animals that are mammals:
  • Cat ✅
  • Cow ✅
  • Chicken
  • Fish
  In this example, participants must choose Cat and Cow. Only turn this setting on if participants are allowed to choose several answers. If there is only one correct answer, leave it off. This setting only appears for Multiple Choice questions.
• Question Media: sets how participants will see or hear the question.
  
  You can choose more than one Question Media type for a single question.
  
  This means one question can combine text, images and audio. For example:
  • Text for writing the question.
  • Image for showing a chart or an illustration.
  • Audio for listening questions.
  Choose the media that fit the question you’re creating.
