EXAMPLE
ExamView allows for three question types.
---------------------------
ANS: F, thirteen
3 Click the Answer drop-down menu to select True or False.
4 If the answer if false, switch to the Answer area by clicking in the area or by pressing Alt+A (PC) or Option+A (Mac) and
enter the correct response.
5 Optionally, click Info and then enter the question information.
6 Optionally, click the Narrative drop-down menu to link an existing narrative to the question. To enter or edit a
narrative, click Narrative.
7 Click Record to save the question. Click Close if you do not want to save any changes you made.
TIP
Click View from the menu bar and select Ruler to display a ruler while entering a question.
You can also change the space shown for the Question and Answer entry areas. Position the
mouse pointer on the border between the two entry areas. When the mouse pointer changes
to a resize cursor, drag the border to change the size as desired.
Multiple Choice
1 Select a multiple choice question and click Edit, or click New and select Multiple Choice to create a new question.
TIP
If you copied a multiple choice question and answers from another source, you can press F7
(PC) or Cmd+P (Mac) to use the Smart Paste feature rather than the normal Paste feature,
Ctrl+V (PC) or Cmd+V (Mac). ExamView Test Generator automatically formats the question
when it pastes the text into the entry area.
EXAMPLE
Copy a multiple choice question and its choices from a word processing document. Create a
new multiple choice question and press F7 (PC) or Cmd+P (Mac). ExamView will paste the
question text and then automatically paste each choice into the corresponding table cell.
2 Click the Choices drop-down menu to select the number of available choices, and click the Columns drop-down
menu to select the number of columns.
3 Enter the question in the Question area.
4 Select a cell in the table and enter the answer choices. Depending on the preference setting, you can press Tab to move
from the question stem to the choices.
5 Select the appropriate radio button for the correct answer.
6 Click the Scramble drop-down menu and set the option accordingly if your answer choices include any of the following:
All of the above, None of the above, or Both A and B. Since ExamView Test Generator gives you the option to
scramble answer choices when you print a test, you need to identify any choices that should not be moved.
7 Optionally, enter an answer explanation in the Rationale area.
