STUDENT AID HELP - EDIT/CREATE TEST
This is the area where you may edit or create a test/quiz. There are two modes
here. The view mode - which allows you to view and scan through the questions
in the test, and the edit mode - which allows you to input information or edit
current question/answer information.
When you first entered this area you were presented with a row of gadgets in
the top row - this is the view mode. From here you can scan through the
questions in the test simply by pressing + or - or by clicking the respective
+/- on gadget. To quickly move to the top, bottom or a certain question you
can do so by selecting the Top, Last or Goto# gadgets.
The edit mode is entered when you select either the M)odify question or the
A)dd question gadget/keypress. Once you are in the edit mode you can continue
to enter information until you press the ESC key. One important note about
the edit mode - If you wish to change only the question without changing the
currently selected correct answer, press escape before your cursor moves into
the answer blocks (else you'll have to re-identify which is the correct
answer). There are two additional edit modes: W)hy edit, and S)ummary edit.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS: (Click on gadget or select 1st CAPITAL letter)
F)ormat - There are 5 pre-defined answer formats, this selection toggles the
current answer format to use for question. (note: the questions are always
78 characters x 5 lines). The answer formats for a question are as follows:
1) 2 Answers (76 characters x 6 lines each) ie.. TRUE FALSE
2) 3 Answers (76 characters x 4 lines each)

W)hy edit - Enter edit mode for a brief (3 line X 50 chr) description of
why the right answer is so. Displays only if test taker has VERBOSE WHY on.

information displayed after the user completes the test as a final note
or to allow him to compare his grades to some given standard.
