Once logged into HelpTeaching.com, creating a question group is very similar to creating a test. Start by selecting the \u201c<a title=\"Test Maker\" href=\"\/create.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Test Maker<\/a>\u201d tab then the \u201c<a title=\"Create a Group\" href=\"\/groups\/edit.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create a question group<\/a>\u201d link under the advanced option description. From here, you can name a group and add common instructions. Clicking on the \u201cAdd This Question to a Group\u201d button will insert a question in the chosen group. If you wish to group a question, but haven\u2019t yet created a place for it, select \u201cAdd Question to a New Group\u201d. Groups can be customized as needed by arranging question order and altering the common text.<\/p>\n<p>Like a standalone question, a group can be added to a test or worksheet by clicking the \u201cAdd This Group to a Test\u201d button. Locate your question groups by selecting the&nbsp;&#8220;My Content&#8221; tab at the top of the page.&nbsp;Questions in the Help Teaching database that appear in groups have a blue box that states it is part of a question group. Select the &#8220;View Group&#8221; link to see the entire group of questions and instructions.&nbsp;Remember, worksheets can include stand alone questions, groups, or a combination of groups and stand alone questions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Related Topics:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-find-questions-for-a-test.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Find Questions on HelpTeaching.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-customize-your-tests.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Customize Your Tests Created on HelpTeaching.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-use-questions-with-images.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Use Questions with Images<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/about\/how_to_write_good_test_questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Write Good Test Questions<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/test-room-online-assessment-platform.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Test Room Online Assessment Platform<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HelpTeaching.com offers a convenient question grouping tool that gives members the power to create collections of questions with shared instructions.
