Exam blueprints: draw exams automatically from a bank

Steps

1. Go to “Exam blueprints” → “New blueprint”. Enter the “Exam blueprint name”, choose the “Source question bank”, add a “Description / Notes”, then click “Create & configure blueprint”.
2. On the “Question types included in the draw:” line, keep the question types you want to use (at least 1 type).
3. Add a row for each folder (“+ Choose folders for the blueprint”), choose the difficulty tier, then fill in the number of questions in the Remember, Understand, Apply and Advanced application cells.
4. Click “Check question sources” to see whether the bank has enough questions. Any cell that's short shows how many questions are needed, how many are available and how many are missing.
5. Click “Save blueprint”. Each time you save, the blueprint's version number goes up.
6. Click “Create draft exam”. In the “Generate draft exam from blueprint” box, enter the “Generated exam title”, the “Time limit (minutes)” (1–360) and the “Points per question”, choose a class if needed (if you leave “Open exam — every student on Bút Nghiên can see it”, every student with a Bút Nghiên account can see the exam), then click “Generate draft and open editor”. To reopen a saved blueprint, click its card (the blueprint name) in the list.

Common errors and how to fix them

• “Keep at least 1 allowed question type” → tick at least one question type again.
• “The question bank is … questions short of the blueprint…” → lower the number of questions in the flagged cells, or add questions to the bank.
• “Version conflict: the blueprint was edited in another tab…” → the blueprint was just changed in another tab; Bút Nghiên reloads the latest version automatically, then you redo your changes and save.
