Question Bank

The Question Bank in AlphaLearn LMS is a centralized repository where Administrators and Managers can create and manage questions for quizzes and exams. Questions can be categorized and tagged for better organization, and easily imported into quizzes and exams.

⚠ Before adding questions: Set up your Question Categories and Question Tags first – these help organize your questions effectively. By default, the category Difficulty Level with tags Easy, Medium, and Hard is included and ready to use. To add your own, see Add Question Categories Individually.

  • Navigate to Evaluation → Question Bank
  • Click + Question and select your Question Type
  • Fill in the details and click Create
📎 Subjective Questions – Allow Attachment: When adding a Subjective question, you can enable Allow Attachment so Trainees can upload a file as part of their answer.
