A question bank (“Bank Soal”) is a collection of questions prepared for use in a specific exam schedule.
Question Bank
Create a question bank based on the subject, owner, and needs of the exam.
- Give the question bank a clear name, for example

- Make sure the question bank is active before linking it to an exam schedule.
Adding Questions
Questions are added from the question bank’s detail page.
- Enter each question with clean, consistent formatting.
- Complete the answer options for objective questions.
- Mark the answer key according to the question type.
- Set weights or scoring options where available.
- Review media, tables, and formulas before the package is used.
Question Types
The available question types include:
- Multiple choice.
- Complex multiple choice.
- Matching.
- Short answer.
- Essay.
Choose question types that fit the purpose of the assessment. Objective questions are suited to automatic grading, while essays require manual grading or follow-up by the teacher.
Package Validation
Before a question bank is used in an exam schedule, check the following:
- Every question has question text.
- Objective questions have answer options.
- Answer keys have been set.
- The number of questions matches the exam plan.
- The question order is correct if the exam does not shuffle questions.
- The package does not contain unintended duplicate questions.
Consistency After Use
An active question bank that has already been used should not be changed casually.
Changes to a question bank that is already in use can affect exam consistency, participant results, and reports. If a major revision is needed, create a new question bank so the exam history remains clear.
Good Practices
- Keep separate question banks for each exam event.
- Do not reuse a single question bank across events with different contexts.
- Use question bank names that teachers and administrators can easily search for.
- Archive old question banks that are no longer in use.
