exam
I would like to recreate something like this
To make my students' papers are realistic and true to the real thing as possible. How would a header like that be achieved, would it be with the \maketitle command? And how are "MAT1511 Analytical Geometry" and the date aligned separately?
You could try something like this (feel free to make the necessary adjustments):
\documentclass{exam}
\newcommand*\TrueFalse{\bfseries True\hspace*{10pt}False\hspace*{10pt}}
\newlength\mylena
\newlength\mylenb
\settowidth\mylena{\TrueFalse}
\newcommand\MyQ[1]{%
\setlength\mylenb{\linewidth}
\addtolength\mylenb{-\mylena}
\parbox[t]{\mylena}{\TrueFalse}\parbox[t]{\mylenb}{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{questions}
\question\MyQ{text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text.}
\question\MyQ{How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck
wood?}
\question\MyQ{Compute $\displaystyle\int_0^1 x^2 \, dx$.}
\end{questions}
\end{document}
Let us add some spice! Here is a not so minimal template which you can adjust to have another design with some bling.

Best Answer
You can set the title in a
centerenvironment, with the necessary formatting (perhaps\large\bfseries). Spacing for the subject and date could be via inserting a horizontal space (like\qquad, or\hspace{2em}).
