when you create an exam you must create at least one section in it so that you can add questions to it. The table below describes section properties.
Administrators with read-only or unrestricted access to the Exam and Question Manager feature and unrestricted access to the Exams feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Exam Manager Features) can edit exam section properties.
Table: Section Field Reference
| Field | Description |
| Title | Enter the section title. |
| Description | Enter a brief description of the section, up to a maximum of 255 characters. |
| Question List Selection | Select an option to specify how questions can be added to the section:
|
| Randomize fixed question list within question pools | When specific questions are selected for the section, to randomize the order of questions each time the exam is launched, select this check box. |
| Weighting of Questions |
This option is only available when you select the Generate random questions option from the Question List Selection. Select an option:
|
| Question Delivery Style | Select an option for how multiple questions are presented to candidates in the exam section:
If you select Sequential, Single Question per Page, you can optionally set a time limit. This can be a section-specific time limit you enter here, or you can use the question time limit specified at the exam level (in the Details tab). |
| Marking type | Select the marking type for scoring the questions. You can mark the questions either by points or by percentage. |
| Required Number of Points/Percentage | Enter the number of points or the percentage needed to pass this section of the exam. |
| Time Limit (min.) | Enter the time limit in minutes for answering all the questions in a section. |
| Only draw questions with the following attribute(s) |
If question attributes have been created, and your user account has been given access permission for them, they appear at the end of the Section Properties page. For sections with a random question selection, you can specify the criteria for question selection by only selecting questions that have the question attribute values selected here. Select the check boxes of one or more attribute values to restrict the questions chosen to only those with the same values. If the pool level does not have enough questions with the specified attribute value then the exam will not launch and an error message will be shown. |
