YouTestMe empowers users to define how test questions are presented to test-takers. During test creation, administrators and authorized users can choose from the following layout options:
- One Question per Page: Each question is displayed on a separate page. Test-takers can navigate between questions using a “Next Question” button or selecting a question from a provided list.
- All Questions on One Page: All questions are displayed on a single page, allowing test-takers to view and answer them without navigating between pages.
This article explores these layout options from the perspectives of test creators and test-takers, providing insights into their configuration and usability.
Test Creator Perspective
During the second step of the test creation process, the test creator configures key settings such as test duration, format, and report preferences.
To display each question on a separate page, the test creator should select the One Question Per Page option from the Page Format dropdown menu.
Alternatively, to display all questions on a single page, the test creator should choose the All Questions On One Page option from the same dropdown menu.
Additional Related Settings
When the One Question Per Page option is selected, the test creator can enable a setting to prevent revisiting questions. This Disable Going Backwords In Test restriction ensures that test-takers cannot return to a previous question after clicking the Next Question.
Test-Taker Perspective
One Question Per Page
When the Disable Going Backward in Test setting is disabled, test-takers can freely navigate between questions using the Next Question and Previous Question buttons or by selecting a specific question from the question list. This flexibility allows them to review and modify their answers before submitting the test.
Additionally, test-takers can mark questions for review and access a Review List, which allows them to easily revisit and address marked questions before submitting the test.
Conversely, when the Disable Going Backward in Test setting is enabled, test-takers are restricted from revisiting previous questions. Once they move to the next question, they cannot return to a prior question or select it from the question list, ensuring a sequential and forward-only progression through the test.
All Questions on One Page
When the All Questions on One Page option is selected, all test questions are displayed on a single page, allowing test-takers to view and answer them without navigating between pages. This layout provides a clear overview of the entire test, enabling test-takers to manage their time and responses more efficiently. Test creators do not need to configure additional settings for navigation, as the test-taker can scroll through the entire test and answer questions at their own pace.
