Generate paper test

The paper tests (in PDF form) generated in the administration environment can be used for digital processing and recording the results. When the paper test files no longer need to be used, they can be archived.

Go to Manage > Paper tests to generate a new paper test. Click on 'New paper test' to create the PDF files. Then select the relevant course and the blueprint. Then name the test and select the language.

There are three options for creating the answer sheet. Which option you choose depends, among other things, on whether it is known which candidates will be present during the test take. With the first two options, unknown candidates or candidates who were added to the test last minute may receive empty answer sheets that have been additionally printed. With the third option of personal answer sheets, it must be known which candidates are participating in the test when the answer sheets are printed.

• Print user fields on very page Candidates must enter their identification details and, for example, the exam date in these user fields. The candidate will have to fill in his details on each page. The document to be printed = number of pages that one candidate has as an answer sheet. When printing these answer sheets, you must print this document as often as the number of candidates you expect, so that everyone has their own answer sheets. For example: The answer sheet has 2 pages, there are 50 candidates. The file for printing has only 2 pages, but must be printed 50 times.
• Print user fields on first page, individual set per candidate required Every candidate will receive an individual set of answer sheets. This option will give the answer sheet an additional feature: a set number. This set number is displayed at the top and bottom of the answer sheet. See also the explanation at the bottom of this article.
  One needs to indicate the number of candidates, so that the print file is immediately created for all candidates. Each candidate receives a unique set of answer sheets. The print file for 50 candidates with a 2-page answer sheet then consists of 100 pages that only needs to be printed once. It is important that the candidate receives the sheets of one set number, so that the candidates' answers do not accidentally end up with other candidates' answer sheets.
• Create personalised answer forms for this test. Each candidate gets his or her own personalised answer sheet. For this option it is important that it is known when the answer forms are printed which candidates will take the test. The candidate's details are already on the answer sheet or sheets. It is important that the candidate receives the answer sheets with his name on it when handing out the tests.

It is possible to include a description. This can be helpful in distinguishing paper tests from each other. The image below shows an overview of a created paper test:

Under the heading 'Downloads' are the relevant files, respectively: Question Sheet, Answer Sheet, Correction and any attachments.

A new variant can be created via the '+' icon. When the blueprint allows questions to be mixed, this can also be applied to the paper test. In a test with questions in a fixed order this will not result in a different variation.
