Question

The Questions feature in the Think Exam Panel lets administrators and instructors easily create, manage, and organize different types of questions for exams. Key highlights are:
Question Types: The platform offers various question formats, like multiple-choice, true/false, fill in the blanks, matching, essay, and short answer. This allows you to assess a wide range of knowledge and skills effectively.
The administrator can customize questions by including answer options, specifying the correct answers, offering hints or explanations, and assigning scores or points.
This allows for tailored assessments based on the learning objectives and exam requirements.
The Think Exam panel helps you easily add multimedia elements such as pictures, charts, diagrams or videos to your questions.
This further enhances the exam experience by accommodating visual or interactive elements when necessary

Import through EXCEL

• The Import Questions feature through EXCEL simplifies the process of bringing in questions from external sources, streamlining the question creation process. Key point to highlight include:
Bulk Import: Admins can easily bring in multiple questions from external files like Excel spreadsheets instead of manually creating questions. This helpful feature saves a lot of time and effort, especially when working with a large number of questions.

Steps to create questions through EXCEL

To upload questions using Excel in Think Exam, you can follow these steps:
Go to the “Import Question”, click on “Add” option.
Download the sample file



Prepare your question bank in an Excel file. Ensure that you have included the necessary columns for different question attributes such as question text, options (if applicable), correct answer, etc.



Fill in the Question text, subject name, topic name, question type, correct answer and 4 options which are mandatory, and other options that are not mandatory you can skip them, but it is important to not delete them to prevent the errors while uploading.

Save your Excel file in a compatible format that is Excel 97-2003 workbook.
Locate the option to import questions and select it. It may be labelled as "Import Questions,".

In excel you can fill up to 16 options but not more than that.



In the import dialog box, choose the file you prepared. Select the appropriate file format, such as Excel 97-2003 workbook, if prompted.

Review the mapping options if available.

Some platforms provide mapping functionality to match the columns in your Excel file with the corresponding question attributes in Think Exam.



Start the import process. Depending on the size of your question bank, it may take some time to upload and process the questions. Once completed, it will show as successfully uploaded. 

Verify that the questions have been successfully uploaded by checking the question bank or the relevant section where you imported them.



If your document is not in the format, the error messages will be reflected so you can download the error file. From there, you can rectify the error and upload the file again.
