Customizing Questions in a Test

Norton Testmaker lets you customize questions after adding them to your test. Customized questions become a part of your test bank automatically, so they can be reused in other tests. Questions can be edited in “Build” and “List” views.

The following question types can be edited in Norton Testmaker:

1. Essay
2. Short Answer
3. True/False
4. Multiple Choice
5. Question Group

1. Click “Edit Question”, available alongside the question number heading in the test.
