The Document question type lets you upload a single reference PDF in a parent question and ask several sub-questions based on it. This is ideal for case studies: follow the document with MCQ, MCA, Short Text, or other question types.

​
Attaching Documents

You add a Document question while building a Custom Test.
1

Create or open a custom quiz

From the Assessments Dashboard, open Custom Tests and create a new quiz, or open an existing one.
2

Select the Document question type and upload the PDF

Choose Document from the question type drop-down menu and attach the PDF. Instructions for candidates are optional and go in the Description Text field.
3

Add sub-questions

Create the questions that reference the document, and set points for each sub-question if required.
A time limit can be set only on the parent Document question, not on individual sub-questions.

​
Document vs Comprehension

The Comprehension question type also nests sub-questions under shared reference material. The difference is the format of that material.

​
How Candidates See Them

Candidates see the PDF at the top, with all sub-questions displayed at once underneath it. They can scroll through the document and answer the sub-questions in any order.
MCQ and MCA sub-questions are auto-graded, while Short Text answers need manual grading.
