Printing a Question Paper
This article walks through printing a question paper — the printed test your students read from. This is different from the answer sheet, which is the bubble sheet students mark; to print those, see Printing an Assessment for a Class.
To generate a question paper:
- Open your assessment and click the actions menu, then click Print question paper.
- Set your options (covered below).
- Find the version you want in the list and click Generate. When it finishes, click Print to open the PDF.
Options
- Language — the language for the paper’s built-in labels and instructions.
- Columns — how many columns the questions print in, from 1 to 3. The default is 2, which fits most tests; choose 1 for questions with long passages or large images.
- Assessment prefix — optional text added in front of the assessment title on the printed paper.
- Logo — a logo printed at the top of the paper. You can upload one or paste a public image URL. If you leave it blank, PaperScorer uses your district logo (for enterprise accounts) or your saved default.
NOTE: To set a logo once and reuse it on every question paper, add it under Account → Preferences → Question paper logo. You can still override it per print.
Printing each version
The list shows a row for the base version and for every additional version. Each row has a Generate button and, once generated, a Print link and the time it was last generated. Each version’s paper reflects that version’s question and answer order.
If you change your questions after generating, the row shows an out of date flag — click Re-generate to rebuild it with your latest content.
NOTE: If a question is missing its text or answers, PaperScorer still generates the paper but prints placeholder filler in place of the missing content and warns you which questions need attention. Add the missing text and re-generate to replace it.
Equations and images
Any equations or images you added to your questions print exactly as they appear on screen — equations are rendered as images so they look identical on paper. For how to add them, see Adding Images and Equations to Question and Answer Text.
