Creating a Ranking Question

Question text is created using a rich content editor. You can add an image, video, audio, reading passage, mathematical equations, formulas and statements. Question text can be created left-to-right or right-to-left. Owing to the features in the question editor, the ranking question can easily become a "paragraph creation question", "survey question" or "math question".

Determining Ranking Options

A lot of options can be added to ranking questions. For each added option, the candidate will be asked to make a choice from among the options containing consecutive numbers. options can consist of simple text, formatted text, pictures, reading passages, listening passages, videos, and mathematical statements.

With the formatting options such as writing bold, italic, underlining, specifying the text color, specifying the font and size, text coloring, the item can be created upon your preference.

Adding images to options
