exam
I am using Moodle Package (fom CTAN) to make quizzes for Moodle. All is going well except I cannot find question type True/False in the manual or google.
It does have question types multi (Multiple Choices), shortanswer (Short Answer), numerical (Numerical fill in the blank), cloze(Mix of three above) and matching.
Any help or idea to tweak available question types (to add True/False) would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
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}
1) I used xpatch to fix the amount of space after each choice.
2) I renewed the \questionlabel command for the first question. \phantom{} reserves the space of the question number but it is not printed. I reset it it back to the class default before the section question.
\documentclass[addpoints]{exam}
\usepackage{xpatch}
% Need both to patch both instances (choice, correctchoice) in the oneparchoices environment.
% Unless there is a global replacement that works within an environment. I don't know.
% Replaces \hskip 1em with \hfill
\xpatchcmd{\oneparchoices}{\penalty -50\hskip 1em plus 1em\relax}{\hfill}{}{}
\xpatchcmd{\oneparchoices}{\penalty -50\hskip 1em plus 1em\relax}{\hfill}{}{}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\gradetable
\end{center}
\begin{questions}
\renewcommand\questionlabel{\phantom{\thequestion.}}
\titledquestion{\textbf{Multiple Choice}}[10]
What is the Capital of the United States in 1799?
\begin{oneparchoices}
\choice NY
\CorrectChoice Washington D.C.
\choice Chicago
\choice LA
\end{oneparchoices}
\renewcommand\questionlabel{\thequestion.}
%\setcounter{question}{0} %Uncomment if you want the first numbered question to start at 1.
\question[10]
What is the Capital of the United Kinddom in 1999?
\begin{oneparchoices}
\choice London
\CorrectChoice Washington D.C.
\choice Chicago
\choice Los Angeles
\end{oneparchoices}
\end{questions}

It is possible to display the words "True" and "False" in as type
multiwith these 2 options. A small example:
