We can create any number of Question Bank files in our computer. These files can be indexed by the question bank software.

How Many Questions Can be Stored in Each Question Resource (QR) Word File ?

Any number of questions can be stored in a Question Resource (QR) word file, provided the file does not become too heavy for the convenient working of the operator. Though you can maintain subject-wise files, but it is always convenient to maintain topic-wise files. Subject-wise files may become too heavy to open and edit, so it is better to keep them small with around 200 questions.

How to Classify the Questions ?

There are several filters and property tags in the software like : Subject / Unit, Chapter, Topic, Category / Class, Difficulty Level / Marks Level, Reference etc. These properties can be allocated to a question.

The question content lies in a referenced DOC file called the QR file (Question Reference File) while the properties of the questions are stored in inbuilt database of Question bank software.
