Excel Import Process

1- Save/add your test items into the attached excel file or first try to import the existing file per the instructions outlined in the tutorial. 

2- Add your test items to the same excel file or save a new copy of the file, naming it whatever you wish.

Note: save the file in a directory that is easy to access -- for example, create a directory under My Documents.  Name the directory "Questions" or "TG Questions", under My Documents. 

3- Add your items to the excel file -- we suggest adding a few (3 to 5) questions to start and then try importing them into TG per the instructions in the tutorial.

Once you get the hang of it, you can import the remaining items into TG. 

4- Best Practice: If you haven’t already done so, we recommend reviewing the TG Help topics under Question Banks > Test Generator Question Bank. 

5- Best Practice: We also strongly recommend reviewing the TG Help topics under Tests > Tests: Review Before You Publish
