Top Tips• For easy re-use of questions, create pools• Add feedback to questions as you create to save time and re-inforce

student learning • Use the respondus lockdown browser to limit students movement

outside of the test• Select random order of answers and questions to limit the chance of

students copying• Pools of questions will also minimise the chance of 2 students taking

exactly the same test• Calculate questions allow up to 100 different sets of values (automatic)

students get different computations to do
