Import question banks

Each bank becomes one pool, the same way a Blackboard test draws from pools. Use the question bank .zip exported from Blackboard (Question banks → Export) or downloaded from the Blackboard Question Editor, or an editor project (.bbq.json).

No bank at hand?

Blueprint

Match the Blackboard test: how many questions each pool contributes, and how many points each is worth. The paper form will cover the same outcomes with the same time limit. To draw from several banks together under one outcome, use Combine with above: the banks then share one label, draw count and points, and print as one part.

Pools

Generate parallel forms

Forms are drawn so they share as few questions as possible, preferring questions that have been used least, and least recently. The same seed always gives the same forms.

Order

Usage history

A form is recorded the first time you export or print its test booklet. New forms then prefer questions used least, or least recently.

Review & edit

Generate forms first (step 3).

Export

PDF opens your browser’s print dialog: choose Save as PDF as the printer, and keep headers and footers off (the page numbers and form code are already on the page). Word files download straight away and keep math as editable equations.
