• Click the [Set/Modify Course Parameters] button. This will load a new page with your Parameter Table at the bottom.

• Click the [-] in the [Default Value] column next to [Question Type (type)]. This will give you a pop-up menu of question type options.

• Select the [Exam] option and then click [Store] to save your choice.

• Your Parameter Table wil now show "exam" in both the [Default Value] column and the [Parameter in Effect] column.

• You also need to set the number of bubbles for numerical questions. Click the [-] in the [Default Value] column next to [Number of bubbles in exam mode (numbubbles)]. This will give you a pop-up menu of bubble number options. After specifying a number, click the Store link to save your choice.

NOTE:

The default number of bubbles is 8. LON-CAPA will generate random wrong answers if wrong answers are not coded in the problem. Example: If you specify 5 bubbles in exam mode and 4 bubbles for your exam folder, 5 bubbles will still appear.
