About this tutorial #

Build a Mock Test from approved Question Bank questions, set timing, attempts and result release, create fixed and random-draw sections, and publish an edition. Editing a published test’s details keeps it live.

What you will learn #

  • The Mock Tests list, statuses, and who can publish (owners and administrators by default)
  • Institute marking defaults (+4 / −1 / 0) and per-section overrides
  • Creating a Mock Test: stream, title, summary, syllabus categories, access and batch audience
  • Test settings: overall timer, attempts per student and the three result-release options
  • Sections: all mapped questions vs a random draw per attempt, shuffled answer choices
  • Mapping approved questions with filters and the rule-based Auto-map helper
  • Publishing an edition — the paper and marks are frozen for attempts already started
  • Saving a published test’s details keeps it published
  • What students see before they start
