Creating Test Sections

Previous   Contents   Next  

Use MicroTest Pro’s test sections to group like questions in a test or to simplify the process of creating multiple versions of your test (vary the order of questions and/or sections in the test). A test can contain up to eight sections. Each section can include separate instructions.

When you create a new test, MicroTest Pro automatically creates a section named Section 1. If you do not want to include sections or if you do not want to establish additional sections, the questions you select for a new test will automatically be placed in the Section 1 section. To create test sections, open the question bank, create a new test or open an existing test, and follow the steps below:

  1. From the Test menu, choose Create Section.
  2. Click inside the Section Title text box and type the name for the section.
    Click on checkboxes to Begin Section on a New Page and/or to Always Print Section in Selected Order.
    NOTE: If you mark the checkbox to Always Print Section in Selected Order, the questions selected for that section cannot be printed in Random or Chapter Order on a test. The questions for that section will always print in the order in which they were selected for a test.
  3. When finished, click OK.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 to create additional sections.

When a test is printed, sections are printed in the order in which they appear in the Test pull-down menu. A check mark to the left of a section title indicates that it is the active section. Before you select questions, from the Test pull-down menu, choose a section.
