Dear Sirs,
For create and grade my MCQ (multiple choice quiz) I use the MUCH
command that in had found at http://fourier.math.uoc.gr/~mk/much/.
this is a very useful command for create and grade quizzes. Actually my
main propose is use MUCH with context (or luatext).
I prepare my exams in this way:
Each question = one file
Question example:
"""""
Today is:
.
31 December --- the true question is the first
.
25 December
.
13 Mars
.
"""""""""""""""""
In the test-description I include my specifications.
And them I do:
much create test-description
A mc-outfile.tex is created. Now I do:
pdflatex exam.tex for making the pdf file with all exams. If you can
help I would use ConTeXT to prepare the pdf file.
The migration should be very easy. I think there is necessary to define
in context several commands like:
\newcommand{\mcglobalheader}
\newcommand{\mcpaperheader}
\newcommand{\mcpaperfooter}
\newcommand{\mcquestionheader}{\noindent{\bf Question
\mcquestionnumber}: }
\newcommand{\mcquestionfooter}{}
In the file questions (mc-output.tex).
"""""""" mc-output.tex """"""""""""
\mcglobalheader
\def\mcserialnumber{500}
\mcpaperheader
\def\mcquestionnumber{1}
\mcquestionheader How many circular orderings of the numbers
$0,1,\ldots,10$ are there?
(Two circular orderings which differ only by a rotation are not
considered different.)
\\
{$A$}: $10!$
\ \ {$B$}: $3^{11}$
\ \ {$C$}: $11!$
\ \ {$D$}: $9!$
\ \
\mcquestionfooter
\mcpaperfooter
%%%%% another exam
\def\mcserialnumber{501}
\mcpaperheader
\def\mcquestionnumber{1}
\mcquestionheader In how many ways can we select, from a set of 20
people, a committee of 3
different persons with a chair, secretary and member?
\\
{$A$}: $20\cdot19\cdot18$
\ \ {$B$}: $\frac{20!}{3!}$
\ \ {$C$}: $20^3$
\ \ {$D$}: $3^{20}$
\ \
\mcquestionfooter
\mcpaperfooter

Thanks a lot for your support.
Happy New Year to all
