    Importing Comps Questions

    December 15th, 2023

    To import comps questions, there are three high-level steps that must be followed:

    1. The first step to adding new questions to the comps exams for the current term is to create the question bank categories for each test at the term category level (e.g., 2021F).
    2. Next, import the questions to the categories.
    3. Finally, add questions to the quiz.


    Create the Question Bank Categories

    Delete

    Warning

    Only add questions to the question bank one time per question set. Once they are added at the category level, they can be added to the quiz activity.

    Step 1

    Go to the Comps Committee Team and download each comps test
    Documents > General > The Comps Exams > {Year} > {Term} > Final Moodle Version > {Level}

    Step 2

    Go to one of the comps course shells (e.g., ACUCMP1.01.2021F.SD)

    Step 3


    Go to Course Administration > Question Bank > Categories

    Step 4

    Under Question categories for Category: <Term>, check Default for <Term> to see if the question category you are adding has already been added. If it has, skip adding that category.

    Step 5

    Add a new category following the same naming convention as the zip file (if it did not already exist when you checked in the previous step).
    The Parent category should be Default for <Term> 

    Step 6

    Click Add category and repeat for the other question sets that have not been added (recheck, if necessary)

    Delete

    Import Questions to the Categories

    Go to Course Administration > Question Bank > Import

    Set the import category to match the zip file name

    Step 4

    Upload the zip file that matches the category name
