An Exam Template is an exam that is available for copying, but cannot be assigned directly to classes.
Click the Create link in the Exams section to select options for a new exam template. The process to create a new template is the same as creating a new lesson, SIMnet exam or test bank exam.
Expand the Type menu, and select the type of exam template you want to create. You can choose from SIMnet Exam - Scenario A Template, SIMnet Exam - Scenario B Template, or Test Bank Exam Template.
Type a name for the template in the Title box.
Click a radio button to select SIMnet content for Microsoft Office 2016 applications or Microsoft Office 2019. You can only add content from one or the other, and choosing here determines which you will be adding from in the next step.
Warning: Once a content type is selected, it may not be changed later.
Click the Next button to save the exam template and continue to the next page .
Templates are available to all instructors who have permission to create lessons and exams from templates (all instructors except Assistants). Once an instructor creates an exam from a template, the instructor is the "owner" of the exam and can edit it based on the rights and privileges assigned to that instructor's role. Full Instructors can change the skills or the preferences in the exam . Limited Instructors can only assign the exam and change the restrictions associated with the assignment.
To create an exam from a template, click the Templates link in the Exam section.
Expand the Actions Menu for the template you want to want to use and select Copy to Lesson.
On the next screen, SIMnet automatically creates an Exam title for you or you can type your own.
Click the Next button to continue.
SIMnet automatically populates the questions for you, but you can add or remove questions or change the preferences if you have a Full Instructor account.
When you create a template using an existing exam as the basis for the template, SIMnet will automatically populate the list of assigned questions for you.
Navigate to the Exams section to search for the exam you want to use as the basis for the template.
From the Exams list, expand the Actions Menu for the exam you want to use and select Copy to Template.
SIMnet automatically creates a title for you or you can type your own.
Click the Next button to continue.
SIMnet automatically opens the Questions list. Notice the Assigned Questions list is populated for you. You can add questions just as you would for a new exam.
