It is recommended that you consider using a Question Bank as this helps with management and movement of the questions for an exam as a group should that be needed.

1. You can do this by clicking on Quizzes in the subject menu, then clicking on the vertical ellipses (three dots) menu in the top right of the Quizzes page.
2. From here, select Manage Question Banks, then Add Question Bank.
3. Enter a name for the question bank, for example Exam SM1 2025, and press Return on your keyboard to save.
4. Now click on the name of the question bank that you have just created and click the Add a Question button on the right.
5. Once you have added all your questions to the question bank, attach it to the quiz. See How do I create a quiz with a question group linked to a question bank?

If there are multiple staff members in a subject and you wish to limit the number of staff who can see the exam before it is released to students, we suggest the following workflow:

1. First set up an example online exam quiz in your Playpen subject.
2. Add the exam questions to a private Question Bank. You can do this by clicking on Quizzes in the subject menu, then clicking on the vertical ellipses (three dot) menu in the top right of the quizzes page.
3. From here, select Manage Question Banks, then Add Question Bank.
4. Enter a name for the question bank, for example Exam SM1 2025, and press Return on your keyboard to save.
5. In the Manage question bank page, bookmark the question bank by clicking on the bookmark icon.
6. Now click on the name of the question bank that you have just created, and click the Add a Question button.
7. Once you have added all your questions to the question bank, attach it to the quiz in your Playpen subject.
8. Add your exam collaborators to your Playpen subject to work on/verify the questions. See how do I create a quiz with a question group linked to a question bank?
9. Your quiz can be built in your subject LMS site from the bookmarked question bank closer to the exam time.
