Importing questions from an XML or SQZ file
SMART Response software includes an import feature for converting questions from ExamView
format XML files or SMART Sync software SQZ files into question sets. SMART Response software
uses the tags in the XML and SQZ files to extract questions, answers and correct responses, and
then converts the information into assessment pages.
