Instructors may select 20 questions at a time from a Pool or another Assessment to add to a Test. When the search is performed 20 questions will appear on a page, if more the 20 questions are found during the search, multiple pages may be viewed. Instructors may only select and submit questions from one page at a time. For example, if the search returns three pages of questions, the Instructor must select the questions to add on the first page and click Submit, then proceed to the second page of the search, select questions on that page and select Submit, and so on until finished.
