If you'd like to jump to different ways to view your Search Results, feel free to.
You will need to make an assignment if you don't already have one you're working on. From there, first select Add Question from the assignment page:
The next page that loads is the search menu for the question banks available to each user.
Browsing by section:
Each public bank is broken up into chapters and sections with reasonably descriptive titles. Feel free to browse through them to find questions maintained by the staff at Quest. For more information about the sectioning, the table of contents for each bank is available here: Question Banks Table of Contents
Searching the banks:
All searches are not case-sensitive and include all appearances of the characters entered, e.g. searching for "in" will find "in", "Interaction", "Interference", etc. You can search by:
Section (a specified bank):
Select the 'all ' bank most relevant to you (all physics, all math, etc) along with chapter and sub-sections. This yields swaths of problems on a given topic.
for the Searches the whole body of the question, but not the code portion of TeX questions.
ID:
Enter in your question number (composed solely of numbers) to find your question from all the public banks. Note, if you know such a question exists but it's not showing up it might be because you have the 'convert free response to multiple choice' setting selected on the assignment, and this question does not meet the requirements for conversion. Alternatively, the question you're looking for could only be in someone's personal bank and not available for public use. (If this is the case please ask said creator for permission or to put it in a public 'all' bank.)
Title:
Searches the titles of the questions in the specified bank.
Body:
Searches the body of the question for key words entered. We encourage all editors to use appropriate keywords to make searches easier, however not all authors do so.
Search by your set criteria. The Results will be in the lower left quadrant.
A preview of the question can be seen on the right, and the assignment composition is on the lower right sector.
Once you have your search results, you have options! Use the tags to deselect any that you do not want to consider (ex: if you only want questions with number randomization, make sure that the 1 unique instance tag is red).
This will yield only questions with multiple instance variations featuring different numbers for different students.
