MicroTest Pro’s Auto Select feature randomly selects questions based on selections made within this dialog. Before selecting questions for a test using MicroTest Pro’s Auto Select feature,

• a test must be open (if needed, see Creating a New Test or Opening an Existing Test ),
• if desired, test sections must be created (see Using Test Sections ).

To use the Auto Select option:

1. If you have more than one section in your test, from the Test menu, choose a section. (MicroTest Pro’s Auto Select feature selects questions for one section at a time.)
2. From the Select menu, choose Auto Select.
   The Select Chapters for Auto Selection dialog appears. MicroTest Pro’s Auto Select feature will randomly select questions from the chapters you specify.
3. From the Select Chapters for Auto Selection dialog, choose one of the following options:
   Select One Chapter - Click on one specific chapter.
   Select More Than One Chapter - Click once on each chapter to be included.
   Select All - Click on this button to include all chapters.
   Clear All - Click on this button to clear all previous selections.
4. To continue click OK or press the Enter key.
   The Auto Selection for Section dialog displays for the section you chose in step 1. If you did not create sections, test questions will be placed in the Section 1 section created for you.
5. Click inside the Select: Questions text box and type the number of questions for the test (or section).
6. Next, select questions based on any of the following criteria:
   Difficulty level - Use this option to select questions based on the difficulty levels assigned to test items in the question bank.
   Any Difficulty level: Click on this radio button to include questions regardless of difficulty level.
   Greater Than or Equal, Equal To, Less Than or Equal: Click on one of these radio buttons to select questions based on a specific difficulty level or one that is greater than or less than a particular level. After selection has been made, a pop-up menu with difficulty level criteria displays. From the pop-up menu, choose a difficulty level. Your selection will appear below the Difficulty Level box in the Auto Selection for Section dialog.
   Question Type - Use this option to select questions based on different question types. Click on the corresponding checkbox for each question type to be included in the test. The numbers that appear in the “Totals” column and to the right of each question type definition indicate the total number of questions per type included in the chapter(s) selected.
   NOTE: Including Matching and Identification questions as candidates for auto selection may result in more than the requested number of questions being selected. If you do not want these question types included, unmark the Include Matching and Identification Questions box.
   Key Word Selection - Key words included in the chapter(s) selected appear in the Key Word Selection list box. (Use scroll bars to view words if necessary). From this list box, choose from the following options:
   • To select questions regardless of key word: Leave all words highlighted and MicroTest Pro will select questions with and without assigned key words.
   • To select questions without key words: First, click on the Clear All button and then click on "Questions Without Key Words". MicroTest Pro will only select questions from the question bank that do not have an assigned key word.
   • To select questions based on specific key word(s): First, click on the Clear All button. Second, click on a specific key word(s). Third, click on “Questions Without Key Words” MicroTest Pro will only select questions assigned to the selected key word(s).
   After all selections have been made, click on the Calculate button.
   The number of questions that meet your criteria displays.
7. When finished, click OK or press the Enter key.
8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 to auto select questions for the remaining sections in your test.
