Note: You can edit the Test only if it is in Draft mode. If it is in Published mode, move it to Draft mode.

3. Understanding Automated and Manual Selection of Questions:

Automated - If you choose Automated, the system will display all the questions in the Skill Library for the specified Skill. You can use the Number of Questions option to select the number of easy, medium, and hard questions based on their difficulty level or the All Questions option to choose the Number of Questions you want to appear in the Test.

For Example: If you choose Creative Thinking as a Skill and there are 30 questions in the Skill Library under creative thinking, and you want to add 20 questions from creative thinking to the Test, then there are two options, either you can select the number from the drop-down under easy, medium, and hard difficulty levels summing up to 20 questions in the Number of Questions option or you can select 20 from the drop-down in the All Questions option.

Notes: By default, Automated selection is enabled. To choose questions manually, select Manual.

Please check if the Randomisation feature is enabled in the Test Settings.

If Randomisation is enabled and you choose 20 questions in the All Question option, 20 random questions from the Skill Library will appear in the Test.

If Randomisation is disabled and you choose 20 questions in the All Question option, the first 20 questions from the Skill Library will appear in the Test sequentially. 

Manual - If you choose Manual, you can navigate across the pages to view and select or deselect the questions from the Skill Library. You can view each question individually and select or deselect the question that you want to add to the Test or remove from the Test.
