This is version 2.4 of the exam document class, dated May 22, 2011. The exam document class, together with its user's guide examdoc.tex, attempts to make it easy for even a LaTeX novice to prepare exams. Simple commands are provided to: 1. Create questions, parts of questions, subparts of parts, and subsubparts of subparts, all with optional point values. 2. Create a grading table, indexed either by question number (listing each question and the total possible points for that question) or by page number (listing each page with points and the total possible points for that page). A grading table can cover the entire exam or just a part of the exam. 3. Create headers and footers that are each specified in three parts: One part to be left justified, one part to be centered, and one part to be right justified. 4. Have headers and/or footers that are different on the first page of the exam, different on the last page of the exam, and that vary depending on whether the page number is odd or even, or on whether the current page continues a question from a previous page, or on whether the last question on the current page continues onto the following page. 5. Have multiple line headers and/or footers, and to increase the part of the page devoted to headers and/or footers to allow for this. 6. Include solutions and have these solutions either printed or ignored (or replaced automatically by space in which the students can write their answers) depending on a single command. 7. Change the words that are inserted by the document class (for, e.g., point values, or table headings), so that they can be adapted to personal taste and/or languages other than English. The user's guide examdoc.tex attempts to explain all of the possibilities in a readable way, with many specific examples. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version.

exam – Package for typesetting exam scripts
Provides a class exam, which eases production of exams, even
by a LaTeX novice. Simple commands are provided to:
– create questions, parts of questions, subparts of parts, and
subsubparts of subparts, all with optional point values;
– create a grading table, indexed either by question number
(listing each question and the total possible points for that
question) or by page number (listing each page with points and the
total possible points for that page);
– create headers and footers that are each specified in three
parts: one part to be left justified, one part to be centered, and
one part to be right justified, in the manner of
fancyhdr
Headers and/or footers can
be different on the first page of the exam, can be different on
the last page of the exam, and can vary depending on whether the
page number is odd or even, or on whether the current page
continues a question from a previous page, or on whether the last
question on the current page continues onto the following page.
Multiple line headers and/or footers are allowed, and it's easy
to increase the part of the page devoted to headers and/or footers
to allow for this.
Note that the bundle exams
also provides a file exam.cls; the two bundles therefore clash,
and should not be installed on the same system.
