Multiple Choice

To specify the correct answer(s), click on the box below the answer - you can have more than one checked at a time. If multiple are chosen, make sure you set the correct Multiple Choice Option.
Reordering the questions is as easy as clicking and dragging the icon to the left of the box.
True / False
Your users will be given a statement and will have to determine whether it is true or false.
To create a true or false question, choose True/False in the Question Type menu. Enter your statement in the Question Title field and if the statement is true, click the box beside This Statement is True, and This Statement is False if it's not.
Fill in the Blank
Fill in the blank questions require a learner to enter a word that is missing in a statement.
To create a fill in the blank question, select Fill in the Blank in the Question Type menu. Enter the statement in the Question Title. You can use underscores (_) to show where the missing word(s) is. Enter the correct answer in the field at the bottom and separate correct answers with commas (,). Answers are not case-sensitive.
Short Answer
Short answers are questions where you pose a question to your learners and they have to type a response.
To create one, select Short Answer.
Short Answers are the only type of question that are not automatically marked by SkyPrep. Unique to this question format, you can allow learners to upload files as part of their answer.
Random Question Bank
The Random Question Bank is used to place in a specific number of randomly chosen questions from multiple different categories.
To create a question for the Question Bank, click on Random Question Bank, then on Create Question for Question Bank.
You'll need to create a new category (or choose an existing one) before creating the question. Categories are used to customize the questions that appear. For example, you can insert 3/5 questions from Category A, and 5/8 questions from Category B.
After selecting the category, click Create Question and create it as normal.
Do this for all the categories and questions you want, then go back to Assessment Questions. Use the dropdown menu to select Add Random Questions, then choose the category you want to add. By adding a category, one question from that category will be randomly chosen and added to the assessment each time it is taken.
