## Adding questions

In a test's **Questions** tab, click **Add Question**. The menu attached to it also offers **Import CSV**, see [Import Questions from a CSV](/guides/import-questions-csv), and **Generate with AI** to create questions from a prompt.

## Question types

Every question has a type selector at the top of the editor with three options:

### Multiple choice (MCQ)

Enter the question text, then add between 2 and 6 answer options. Drag the handles to reorder options while you work. Mark the correct one by clicking the letter button beside it.

### True / False (T/F)

Enter a statement, then mark whether **True** or **False** is the correct answer.

### Short

Enter the question text and the expected response in the **Correct Answer (Exact Match)** field. Responses aren't compared automatically; this field documents what a correct answer looks like for when you grade by hand.

You can change a question's type later, but doing so clears its options and answer key after a confirmation prompt.

## Points

Each question has a point value that defaults to 1. Give harder questions more points if you want; totals across the test are calculated automatically.

## Editing and organizing

- Click the **⋯** menu on a question card and choose **Edit Question** to open it in the editor.
- Drag the handle on a question card to reorder. People see questions in exactly this order unless you enable shuffling in the [experience settings](/guides/create-test#configuring-the-experience).
- Delete a question with **Delete Question** from the **⋯** menu on its card.

## How grading works

Multiple choice and true/false questions are scored automatically against your answer key the moment a test is submitted. Short answers wait for manual review instead. See [Grade Submissions](/guides/grade-submissions) for the full workflow.
