$\blacktriangleright$    To generate printed versions of an exam

  1. Develop and test the source file. Add a Print Choices command to your exam Setup section and then close the source file and the exam file. A Print Choices command looks like this:


    Print Choices: a, b, c, d, e, f


    The items in the list will appear on the printed quiz and key in place of radio buttons, or check boxes.

  2. Start the Exam Builder as a separate application: either run ExamBld2.exe from a DOS prompt or, if you've created a desktop icon for the Exam Builder, click the icon.

  3. In the Exam Template Filename area, type the name of your source file.

  4. In the Output Filename area, type a new file name for the generated exam. Because you will open this file in Scientific Notebook, create the file with a .tex extension.

  5. In the Exam type area, click Generate print exam.

  6. Choose Compile.

    The Exam Builder generates the exam and and answer key. The answer key is saved in a file named the same as the file specified in the Output Filename area but with the word key added. For instance, if the output file is OUT.TEX, then the answer key is named OUT KEY.TEX.

  7. In Scientific Notebook, open and preview the exam file and the solutions files.

  8. Print both files.
