as I mentioned previously questions are stored inside these chapters test banks
in pools looking at this particular test bank for this textbook the questions are
organized in chapters as a pool questions
this is what we call one level test bank
alternatively you have this test bank which has three levels 123 and they are
organized slightly differently just because that particular textbook
required more detail organization there are instances when you may want to
create your own question pools in your own test bank to do this we need to turn
on test bank editing let's go ahead and close this test sure we'll save test changes
you go to the Tools menu preferences application preferences
the last tab in there allows you to enable testbank editing let's go ahead
and create a new test bank
test bank let's call it save it in a default directory called test banks we'll
make this out one level organization book that's good enough and the test
appears in the right-hand pane by default there will be a single chapter 1
heading in the test bank
let's change its name
there's already an empty default question over to your test bank library going to
the chapter you like to move questions across and simply drag-and-drop
questions you can shift click to select multiple control click to skip around
you can also delete questions of the pool if you want to create a new section go
to insert test back section heading now you can make another one
once you have all your questions in your test bank closed the test bank and now
it's active in your test bank library to use your question pool let's open a new
test then you go to your pool and open it up select the question pool that you
want to pull from click choose multiple and since we only have a feeling system
5 for now there you go
now sometimes you may not know exactly what question you want to use maybe for
end of your exam or even a midterm and finding this question can be difficult in
the test bank or question pool we recommend using the test bank filter
tool to do that let's close the pool here it's highlighted test
Bank good tools filter test and content in there you can search by what we call
metadata or descriptors topic learning objective blooms question type and so
forth
what you can do is simply set one of these two equal to a certain type of
data in this case let's go to here says it found 10 questions in our search when
you go look at the test bank you'll notice that now all the chapters are
grayed out except for one chapter 5 so if you open up sure enough you have ten
questions that meet our criteria and then you can easily add those to your
test bank either randomly or drag and drop as needed you can continue doing this
until you have all the questions you need we can turn that off
go to topic nine more questions were found in chapter 9 you can do more
elaborate searches with the filter tool as well for instance just put it back to
that let's go to let's go to Bloom's equal to evaluate we may want to
question type to be true false and you can continue to add other descriptors or
filters in order to really hone in on the type of question that you want
they said no questions matched so we go back to the content so let's try to
choice and they found 8 questions
if you want to remove the criteria so you can get back to an unfiltered
testbank make sure you select simply show up questions and you can now access
everything your test bank
