There are multiple ways to customize your multiple choice and open-ended questions, as well as their orientation in the Assessment.
Custom question sets
You can reuse multiple choice or open-ended question sets across multiple Assessments by going to Customization and then either Multiple choice or Open-ended.
From there you can click the New question set button or edit one of your existing sets. When editing or creating a new set, a modal will appear where you can provide your custom set name, customize your multiple choice or open-ended questions, and click save.
Importing questions from an Assessment
If you created and/or selected questions within an Assessment that you want to reuse elsewhere, you can import and save them as a custom set. Click the Import question set button. You can then select an assessment from which to import and save a custom question set.
Importing questions from a JSON file
If you want to bulk import custom questions your team created elsewhere, you can use our JSON file upload feature. Click the Import question set button and toggle to JSON. Below are formatting requirements for multiple choice and open-ended question sets.
Section settings
Within an Assessment, you can set the order in which the candidate will see the question types by clicking Edit and then navigating to Settings. This is important if your Assessment is timed and you want to ensure that candidates attempt the most important sections first. However, candidates can skip sections if they choose.
You can also randomize which questions are shown to candidates and require candidates to answer questions one-at-a-time.
Question customization
The editor used for multiple choice and open-ended questions allows you to style your questions in a few ways. You can use the toolbar at the top of each question to do some of the following:
- Add headers
- Bold, italicize, underline text
- Add images
- Highlight snippets of code
Selecting open-ended answer type
Open-ended questions can be answered with text, video, or file upload. You can select the default option for each before saving your set.
Styling multiple choice answers
Click Customize at the bottom right of any question, which will open up an editor for each answer allowing you to style the text, add images, add snippets of code, and more.
You can mark multiple answers as correct and require the candidate to select all correct answers. If you do so, candidates will only get credit for questions where they select and only select the correct answers.
Reorder questions within a section
You can reorder the questions by clicking the up and down arrows to move questions around.
