In the QUESTIONS tab, add questions to the test.
The questions tab creates questions that can be divided into sections.
Sections are needed for the convenience of the administrator, dividing questions by topic or level.
Example: we add sections: "simple", "complex" and in them questions corresponding to this level. Next, we ask how many questions from each section will be randomly displayed to users.
Bottom line: users do not see sections when passing the test, but each randomly displays their own questions, which prevents the possibility of cheating.
Adding sections
To be able to add questions, create at least one section.
Enter the name of the new section in the field and press the Enter button on the keyboard. The created section will appear on the forum
Change the section name for all possible localizations and click Save. The tabs of the available languages are located at the top of the section editing window.
You can also specify the number of questions for the test (by default, the total number of questions in the section is specified). You can change the values by clicking on the arrows, or enter a natural number no more than the total number of questions in the section. If you try to enter a larger number, an error will be displayed.
Moving sections with questions
You can collapse sections by clicking on the arrow to the left of the name.
The function works if the "Display questions in random order" setting is not specified.
Sections can be moved by clicking on the arrows above/below or move to the very top / to the very bottom by selecting the appropriate buttons in the menu •••
Note: The training program has the "Active" status, the section movement buttons and the • • * button are not displayed.
In a program with the Display questions in random order setting enabled, the buttons for moving sections are not displayed.

Note: When checking the answers, the administrator will be able to put from 0 points for an open question to the value in the Points for the correct answer field, both with the correct status and with the incorrect status.
If there are several attempts in a test with open questions, then with each new attempt, the progress of the program is "rolled back" when the test goes to the status "under review". The updated progress will appear after checking the test and will depend on the best result.
If there are already answers to open questions in the test, when trying to change the Points for the correct answer field, it is checked that the new value cannot be less than the one already marked in the answers.

To create a pass, you need to select a word/phrase, and the "make pass" menu will appear above the selected text. The highlighted word immediately becomes an answer option in the skip.
Clicking on the pass outside the area of the "x" button opens a menu with a list of answer options. The correct answer is noted.
The number of possible answers is unlimited.
The minimum for successful saving is 2.
The answer option cannot be >100 characters.

The order in which questions are displayed
The check mark Display questions in random order shows that each time you try to pass the test, the questions will be displayed randomly.
If the check mark is not set, the questions in the platform are displayed in the same order in which they were asked by the administrator.
If the check mark is not set and the test is in the "Hidden" status, you can change the order of questions in the list using the drag&drop method. To do this, click and hold the mouse button on the question and drag it to the desired location.
If the test is in the "Active" status, the random display setting is inactive. There is no possibility to change the order of questions in the "Active" status. To edit, move the material to the "Hidden" status."
If the Show questions in random order check box is enabled, in the "Hidden" status, you can set the number of questions from each section that will be displayed in the test. To do this, click on the link "N from M questions" or on the edit section button in the menu •••.
Specify the number of questions for the test (by default, the total number of questions in the section is specified). You can change the values by clicking on the arrows, or enter a natural number no more than the total number of questions in the section. If you try to enter a larger number, an error will be displayed.
Click Save
If you try to configure the display of not all questions in the section that have a different number of points, a warning and a field for changing the number of points will appear in the window. Set this number, but these points will change for all questions in the section. This setting is necessary so that all users have the same total score for the test.
By default, the field is set to 0 points. Accordingly, if you do not change the number of points to more than zero, an error message will be displayed.
Note. There may be questions with different scores in one section, and they should all be displayed in the test.
When you add a new question to the sections, it will automatically fall into the displayed ones. For example, the counter "Always show 10 out of 11 questions" will change to "Always show 11 out of 12 questions" when adding a question.
Importing questions
You can add a large number of questions to the test at the same time using the import questions function. For detailed instructions on importing, see:
How to fill out the test import template from training programs correctly?
