This page will show you how to input items to the test.
Introduction
Each test item must consist of a question and an answer. Example of a 3-item test (the question is before the | character, the answer is after it):
- 2+2= | 4
- 3+5= | 8
- 6+3= | 9
Example of faulty items:
- 2+2= | (no answer)
- | 4 (no question)
- | (no question and no answer)
But a question can only have one answer. Example of a faulty test (DON’T DO THIS, because 2+2 cannot equal 4 and 5 at the same time):
- 2+2= | 4
- 2+2= | 5
However, the same answer can be assigned to different questions. In fact this is an example of a correct test:
- 3+5= | 8
- 2+6= | 8
- 1+7= | 8
Notes
- Never insert the | character when using the editor in the application, because it will add it itself!
- The test must have at least two different answers, otherwise it makes no sense.
- The question and answer should be no longer than 25 characters, and leading and trailing spaces will be truncated.
