Create a Blueprint-based Exam

This guide explains the procedure for creating a Blueprint-based exam in the system.

The blueprint phase is the second phase of “Exam Construction.” If you want to create a blueprint-based exam, only then proceed with this one.
Otherwise, there is an option of skipping it by clicking on “Skip Blueprint”.
Here, as you can see, you need to select the “Primary” criteria. The choice of selecting a “Secondary” criteria is optional.
You can either select “CLO” or “Activities/ Topics” as a primary criterion.

If you select “CLO” as a primary criterion, you may or may not add “Activities/ Topics” as a secondary criterion.
Add the “CLO” you want to attach, and afterwards click “Select.”

You can select as many as you want.
After selecting “CLO(s)”, and “Item Types”, you will see the details as depicted below:

At the extreme right, the “Available Items” number indicates the sum of questions included within a specific item type.
The “Selected Items” number indicates the sum of selected items from a specific item type.
If the available items are less than the required number, the item cell will be red
If the available items are greater, or equal to the required item number, the item cell will be green.
Now, select “Activities/ Topics” as your primary criterion if you want to add any activity to your exam

Add “Activities/ Topics”. You can add as many as you want, and afterwards click “Select.”

Now, add item types by clicking “Add Item Types.” You can add as many as you want.

When you are done with adding “CLO(s)”, “Activities/ Topics”, and “Item Types”, click “Generate Exam.”

The steps outlined above illustrate how to create a Blueprint-based exam within the system.

Now, let’s have a look at how you can skip the blueprint phase and create a simple exam.

However, if you aren’t creating a “Blueprint” based exam, you can click “Skip Blueprint” when you are on the “Blueprint” phase in “Exam Construction.

Whether you choose to proceed with or without the Blueprint, the process will lead you to the “Sections” screen.

A separate page has been created for the “Section-based Exam.” Please refer to it for details.

The rest of the steps will be the same as a single (classical) exam. You may refer to the single exam for detailed instructions.
