This article is a guide on how to create a True or False question type.
Manually Creating a True or False Question
A True/False question presents two possible answers, allowing the candidate to select only one.
- Access the desired question pool to which you would like to include the True/False question and navigate to the Questions tab.
- Click the Add questions button and select the True/False question type.
In the Create New Question dialog:
- Enter the question text.
- Click the three dots menu to add a question attachment, a question feedback, or a formula.
- To select the correct answer, please click the checkbox next to it.
- Click the three dots menu next to each answer to add an answer attachment, answer feedback, or a formula.
- Define the number of points, penalties, the question’s difficulty level, and duration. The question duration will only apply if the test duration is calculated based on question duration.
- Enable the Show More Settings option to access the question’s advanced settings.
- Click on the Add to pool button to save the question.
Advanced Question Settings
In the Advanced Settings section, you can:
- Define the Scoring method, which can be based on correct/incorrect answers, answer weight, or Manual grading. For more details, please refer to this article on scoring methods.
- Enter the Number of Points and Penalties: This is required for automatic grading. By default, the number of points is set to 5, and the penalty is 0.
- Set the Question Duration: Define the amount of time allocated to this question. During the test creation process, you can choose to apply a duration per question. If per-question duration is selected, the system will use the time defined here. The default duration is 2 minutes.
- Enable Branching Mode: Activate branching and select the desired mode (Linking or Help for grading).
Scroll down to define the remaining advanced settings, including:
- Tags: Add relevant tags to the question to improve searchability and categorization.
- Common External ID: Enter an external ID to link the question with an external system for tracking or cross-referencing purposes.
- Difficulty and Frequency: Define the difficulty level of the question (e.g., Easy, Medium, Hard) and indicate how frequently the question should appear in test pools.
- Question Property: In this section, add a custom question property—a user-defined data type that enables an additional layer of classification for your questions. Please refer to this article on question properties.
- Additional attachments: Add supporting files such as PDFs, images, links, videos, audio clips, or ZIP files. You have two options:
- Create New: Upload a new attachment directly from your device.
- Import from Library: Use an existing public attachment stored in the application’s library.
- Add Translation: Translate the question and answer into any language, either manually or using automatic translation.
Please refer to this article on question translation for more details. - Add Assistance: This option provides support tools for test-takers and includes:
- Hint: A clue to guide the test-taker. You can configure a penalty—i.e., a number of points to be deducted if the hint is used.
- Additional Time: Grant extra time to answer the question. You may also set a penalty for using this option.
- Once all settings are configured, click the Add to Pool button to save the question.
