9 In the following example, we want to compile a maths exam with nine questions from three different subject areas (analysis, geometry, and stochastic). From each subject area, one question should be randomly selected for each difficulty level (easy, medium and hard) from a set of similar questions.

68 == 1. STEP: Create a new test ==
69
70 To create a new test, click on **//New test// **in the test resource view of the ONYX editor. Enter a title for your test. By confirming the **//Create a new test// **dialogue with **//OK// **, you will automatically switch to the edit view.
71
72 For more information, see the help section [[Create content>>url:https://www.bps-system.de/help/display/ONYXintern/.Inhalte+erstellen+1+v1.13B||shape="rect"]].

74 == 2. STEP: Structure your test with sections ==

78 )))|(% style="width:765px" %)(((
79 Tests can be subdivided into any number of sections. This allows you to differentiate content by subject or difficulty level.
80
81 The test structure will be displayed in the middle section of the edit view. Select the top test structure element and click the **//+ Section// **button to add a new section. Now select the newly added section structure element **//New section// **and give it a title. Repeat these steps to prepare an empty test structure.
82
83 The questions for each level of difficulty should be randomly chosen later. This is achieved by storing the question sets of the individual difficulty levels within sections from which questions will then be randomly selected. In order to begin, create three sub-sections per subject area, one for each difficulty level (easy, medium, hard).
84
85 The section structure can be hidden from the test participants. In the example maths exam, the subject area sections should be visible to the participants, while the difficulty level sections should not.

87
88 == 3. STEP: Add questions based on their metadata description ==
89
90 In the left area of the edit view, you will find the **//Quick access question bank// **allowing you to search for specific questions based on metadata, which for example contain classification attributes.
91
92 [[image:attach:Editor - Suche im Aufgabenpool_de.png||data-xwiki-image-style="img-screen" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" height="147" width="262"]]
93
94 All questions with the following metadata should be added to the category ** //Easy// **within the section **//Analysis// **of the example maths exam.
95
96 * Metadata item **subject** = **Mathematics/Analysis**
97 * Metadata item **difficulty** = **Easy**
98
99 To search for specific metadata fields, use the advanced search. Click in the search field to open a context menu containing the link **//Advanced search// **. Then click on the link to open the advanced search dialogue. The advanced search contains all metadata fields categorised according to the metadata categories, which include ** //General// **, **//Lifecycle// **, **//Classification// **and **//Technical// **. The relevant metadata for the example maths exam can be found in the ** //Classification // **category.

103 After confirming the dialogue with **//Search// **, all results will be displayed in the menu on the left.

108 Move the mouse over the question title to display more information about the question. You can also preview questions before adding them to your test, which is especially helpful in the case of large question banks.

112
113
114 The questions can simply be added to the test as a copy. For our example, all questions should be selected. To do this, click on **//Select all// **below the search results. If you wish to select questions individually, mark the respective checkboxes.
115
116 Now add the questions from the currently selected section **//Easy// **in the subject area **//Analysis// **using the button **//Add question(s)// **. Repeat these steps for all other difficulty levels and subject areas.
117
118 == 4. STEP: Configure shuffling ==
119
120 The test participant should only be shown one item of the question set per difficulty level within a subject area. Therefore, a random question selection needs to be enabled for the sections about the difficulty level.
121
122 [[image:attach:Editor - zufällige Aufgabenauswahl einstellen_de.png||data-xwiki-image-style="img-screen" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" width="500"]]
123
124 Select a difficulty level section (easy, medium, hard) from the test structure and customise it in the **//Edit section// **area on the right. The menu tab **//Options// **allows you to configure the random question selection. Enable the option **//Shuffle// **by entering the number of questions to be selected. For the example maths exam, exactly one question should be chosen per level of difficulty.
125
126 [[image:attach:Vorschau - Beispielstest merkmalsorientierte Testzusammenstellung_de.png||data-xwiki-image-style="img-screen" data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" width="500"]]
127
128 This will create a different set of questions for each participant. However, the targeted selection of questions based on the classification attributes should still result in a similar exam.
129
130 {{info title="Note"}}
131 In the case of a generic test setup with a random question selection, it may be desirable to hide the question titles during the test. Disable the option **//Show item titles// **in the test configuration if you have included your test as course element in an OPAL course.
