examgradetable
I'm creating my own exam paper and I have 15 different questions. Using the code
\gradetable[h][questions]
I'm getting a grade table. However as I have so many questions the table it too big
I'm trying to split the table in half and put them under each other but I cant get any code to work.
When I have been using the command
\begin{center}
\setlength{\doublerulesep}{0.25in}
\multirowgradetable{2}[questions]
\end{center}
It just keeps on coming up with a error
Instead of giving the total points at the top of the questions you can use the command \droptotalpoints to show the total points of that question at the end of the question.
\documentclass[12pt, addpoints]{exam}
\begin{document}
\begin{questions}
\question[10]
Why is there air?
\question
What if there were no air?
\begin{parts}
\part[5] Describe the effect on the balloon industry.
\part[5] Describe the effect on the aircraft industry.
\end{parts}
\droptotalpoints
\question[20]
\begin{parts}
\part Define the universe. Give three examples.
\part If the universe were to end, how would you know?
\end{parts}
\end{questions}
\begin{center}
\combinedgradetable[v][questions]
\end{center}
\end{document}
This is another solution that uses a fake counter for printing fake question numbers.
First of all, we define the counter (which gets reset at each \section) and the format for titled questions and titled bonus questions:
\newcounter{fakecount}[section]
\qformat{\thefakecount. (\thepoints) \thequestiontitle\hfill}
\bonusqformat{\thefakecount. (\thebonuspoints) \thequestiontitle\hfill}
At the beginning of questions we redefine \titledquestion and \bonustitledquestion to increment the fake counter:
\let\oldtitledquestion\titledquestion
\renewcommand{\titledquestion}{\stepcounter{fakecount}\oldtitledquestion}
\let\oldbonustitledquestion\bonustitledquestion
\renewcommand{\bonustitledquestion}{\stepcounter{fakecount}\oldbonustitledquestion}
At this point, you only have to use \titledquestion instead of \question and \bonustitledquestion instead of \bonusquestion to let it work.
MWE (notice the use of \leavevmode before EnvFullwidth environments to avoid unwanted behaviors...)
\documentclass[11pt,addpoints]{exam}
