In Inspera Assessment, you can create a Question Set to group and structure questions, which is then used to present questions to candidates in a test. 

This article provides an overview of Question Sets, details the steps to create a new Question Set and add questions (either new or from the Question Bank), covers ordering questions within the set, and introduces options for further structuring your Question Set.

Step 1: Create a Question Set

A Question Set serves as a container for your assessment content, allowing you to organize various question types. When a test is created, the Question Set ensures questions are presented to candidates in a structured manner.

1. Select the Author module, and click Question Sets. 
2. Click the button Create New in the top right corner.

3. Name the new Question Set. Give your Question Set a meaningful, simple, and easy-to-use name, as Question Sets can be reused and copied over time. 

   For example, include subject identifiers and semester (e.g., "GEO100 autumn 2025").

Step 2: Adding questions to a Question Set

Once your Question Set is created, you can add questions to it by either creating new ones directly or by adding existing questions from the Question Bank.

Create a new question

• 

  1. Inside the Question Set select Create questions.
  2. You will then be presented with a list of available question types. Choose the question type that best suits your assessment needs. See the article How to create a questions for more information.

Some question may be used in multiple Question Sets. If you just want to change the question for the new Question Set, you may want to duplicate the questions before editing them.

Step 3: Ordering questions

Step 4: Finishing the Question Set

• Press the Home button on the top left corner to return to the Home page.

Further structuring your Question Set

Once you have created your Question Set and added questions, you can further organize its content to meet your assessment needs. This involves actions such as adding sections, attaching resources, configuring the design settings, and adding co-authors to collaborate on the test.

• Add sections

  A section is defined as a group of questions within a Question Set. Sections help you to logically organize your questions, making a Question Set easier to manage and navigate, especially for longer tests.

  For more information about sections, refer to the Sections in Question Set article. 

  

  Add resources

  You can also add resources to your Question Set, such as web pages, websites, and documents. By adding resources, candidates can securely and easily access additional materials during closed-book tests (Safe Exam Browser).

  Design settings

  As an Author, you can customize the design settings for a Question Set by clicking the Design icon in the left panel.
