Import test questions. Do you already have tests that you entered into a word processor such as Microsoft Word? With a few simple formatting changes, you can import these tests into ExamView with the ExamView Import Utility. The most recent version of the Import Utility supports the latest ExamView 4 features such as bimodal questions and long question information fields. The Import Utility is available as a free download from http://www.fscreations.com/download_updates.php.


Scramble answer choices. You may already know that you can scramble your multiple choice answer choices for all questions by choosing the Scramble option from the Edit menu. However, you can also choose to scramble answer choices for individual multiple choice questions by adding a simple algorithm. To scramble the answer choices for an individual multiple choice question, follow these steps:

a. Choose a multiple choice question and click the Edit button.
b. Press Ctrl+D to define an algorithm.
c. Click the New button.
d. In the Variable name field type scramble. In the Definition field type true.
e. Click OK and then Done.
f. Now, simply click the button or press Ctrl+K.


Customizing your banks and tests. You can change the layout and style settings for a question bank or test by choosing Preferences from the Edit menu and making changes in the Layout and Style sections. These changes will only affect the currently open question bank or test. If you want to change the layout and style settings for ALL new question banks, save and close the current question bank or test. Then, click the Edit menu, choose Preferences, and make your Layout or Style changes. Click OK to record these settings for all new question banks. Changes are not applied to any existing question banks or tests—only new ones. The same is true with headers, footers, and instructions.
