While creating a Question Bank, I need the following options,

  • Use external files to populate the Question Bank.
    (i.e. combine multiple QP0#.tex files into QB-All.tex by using \import{QP0#.tex}).
  • Use \printanswers to show answers in some parts and hide answers in other parts.
  • Add marks and print the Question-Wise "Table of Marks" for each Question-Paper.
  • Whole Bank should have continuous page numbers.

I have been using the exam package to create individual question papers.

Contents of QP-0#.tex (QP01.tex, QP02.tex, QP03.tex,...):

\documentclass[a4paper,addpoints]{exam}
\begin{document}
    \gradetable[questions]
    \begin{questions}
        \question[2] Question 01
        \begin{solutionorlines}[5cm]
            Solution
        \end{solutionorlines}

    \question[5] Question nn
    \begin{solutionorlines}[5cm]
        Solution
    \end{solutionorlines}
\end{questions}



\end{document}

Contents of QB-All.tex:

Currently the exam class doesn't support multiple questions environment. So I am generating PDFs of each Question Paper separately and manually combining the generated PDFs using pdftk. But this leads to page numbering issues and incomplete table of contents.

  • There is two packages called ex_test and ex_test_rd provide multiple question and everything that you expected. However, these are written by a Vietnamese and are not published so there are not manual in English. If possible you can read the .sty files here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1D-zJ8wCW-U4G827TZAdX7-xh8cl_tN1s?usp=sharing. – phchon Sep 12 '23 at 08:06
