Create a Fill in the Blank Question in Test

TestTrick allows you to add Fill in the Blank questions to evaluate a candidate’s accuracy, conceptual understanding, and attention to detail. You can create multiple blanks within a single question and define multiple correct answers for each blank.

Step 1: Open Fill in the Blank Question Editor

1. Log in to TestTrick and go to Step 2 (Add Questions) during test creation.
2. Click on the Fill in the Blank Question card to open the editor.

Step 2: Add Question Description

• Write the question description in the text editor.
• Place the cursor where you want a blank to appear.
• Click Insert Blank to create a blank at that position.
• You can insert multiple blanks within the same question.

Example:

“Python is a ______ programming language used for ______.”

Step 3: Add Answers for Each Blank

• For each blank, add the correct answer(s).
• You can add multiple correct answers for a single blank.
• If the candidate’s answer matches any of the correct answers, the blank is marked correct.

Step 4: Set Time for the Question

• If your test uses question-wise timing, set the time limit for this question.
• Time configuration works the same as other question types.

Step 5: Add Skills (Optional)

• Tag skills the question is intended to assess.
• Skills are for internal reference only and do not affect the candidate’s experience.

Step 6: Set Score

Fill in the Blank questions support individual blank scoring:

• By default, the question is scorable with a total score of 1.

• You can also assign individual scores to each blank.

  When individual blank scores are set:

  • The Show Options section is automatically disabled.
  • The total question score is calculated based on the sum of blank scores.

Scoring is automatic based on whether the candidate’s answers match the defined correct answers.

Step 7: Save the Question

1. Review the question, blanks, answers, timing, skills, and score.
2. Click Save to add the question to the test.
3. The question will appear in the test list and can be edited or deleted later.
