    For advanced question setup, assign difficulty labels to questions to prepare for the Test generator and enhance filtration. Adjust appearance levels in randomly generated tests by specifying the frequency factor.

    To define the question difficulty, open the drop-down many under the Difficulty section and select one of the offered values:

    1. Easy.
    2. Medium.
    3. Hard.

    To define the frequency of the question appearing in the test, open the drop-down menu under the Frequency section and select one of the proposed values: Never, Rarely, Normal, Often, Always.

    You have the option to include question categories for filtering during test generation. Select the category with the appropriate values, and they will be added to the question.

    You can define additional properties for the question.

    In addition to multimedia embedded in the question text, you can attach files in various formats related to the question, such as literature relevant to both the question and its potential answers. You can choose to create a new attachment or select from the existing library. Test attachments will be displayed separately from those specifically linked to the questions.

    Generate versions of this question in different languages. Select a language from the drop-down menu and enter the question and its answers in the selected language.
    Specify the optional support that aids in answering the question. If the candidate opts to utilize the assistance, a penalty will be imposed on the question score. If assistance is defined for a question with enabled branching, the branching option will be disabled.
