Save your school's exam paper pattern as a template, and make papers from it

Save your paper pattern once: sections, marks, time and instructions. It is there to pick every time you make a new exam paper.

Every screen in the films is the real product, shown on a demo school made for them.

If your school sets every unit test to the same pattern, with the same sections, the same marks and the same instructions at the top, you should not have to rebuild it for each paper. Save the pattern once as a template, and each new exam paper can start from it.

The film looks at the ready templates, builds a new one for Class 10 Science, adds a short answer section and the instructions, saves it, and then finds it when starting a new exam paper.
