How to create a question pool from an existing quiz or test

If you are trying to export a quiz or a test, you must first create a Question Pool, and then export that. Please note that you cannot create Question Pools from a Survey.

To create a pool from an existing quiz or test:

Create the Pool

  1. Go to the Pool Manager in the Control Panel.
  2. Click on Add Pool
  3. Type in the Name and Description of the pool and click Submit.

Add the questions to the pool

  1. In the Pool Canvas screen, click on the drop down menu for Add.
  2. Select "From a Question Pool or Assessment," which is at the bottom of that menu, and click "Go".
  3. Select the test you'd like to turn into a pool, and select "All" under Question Types.
  4. Click Search
  5. Click the check box next to the questions you'd like to import, or click select all at the top of the screen.
  6. Click Submit, then click OK at the confirmation screen.
