l
The Sort by list will only contain entries for question information fields that contain at least one entry for the
questions being sorted.
l
Sorting treats the entire entry of a question information field as a single entity, even if it contains multiple entries
separated by an item delimiter character.
EXAMPLE
If a question contains two keywords stored as ”r;energy | heat”, the category would appear
exactly as shown rather than as separate entries for ”r;energy” and ”r;heat.” Further, if another
question contains just the keyword ”r;energy”, it would not be recognized as being a subset of
the previous question with multiple entries.
4 A preview of all the entries for the sort criteria is displayed in the area below the drop-down menu. Drag an entry up or
down to reorder the list to the desired sort sequence.
l
Entries are always initially shown in alphabetical order, not by the order that they appear in the current question
order.
l
Changing the sort criteria or closing the Sort Questions window resets the order of the entries to the initial
alphabetical sequence.
5 Click OK to apply the sort order to the questions. The question order displayed in the Reorder Questions window will
now reflect the sorting order.
Scrambling Questions on a Test
The Scramble option is different from the Reorder command in that the Reorder command lets you move questions one at a
time or in a group. And, you can move them exactly where you want the questions to appear. With the Scramble option, the
program randomly rearranges the questions. If you prefer, you can automatically generate different versions when you print a
test.
1 Click or click Question from the menu bar and select Scramble.
2 Select one or more of the scramble options: sections, questions, and answer choices.
3 You may assign a new test version (A-Z) each time you scramble the questions.
4 Click OK to scramble the current test.
Two-column Formatting
By default, ExamView displays tests in one-column format. Follow the steps below to switch to two-column formatting.
NOTE
Not all questions can be displayed in two-column format. For example, a question may be too wide
to fit within the column.
