Titles must be placed at the beginning of a question and begin with "Title" followed by the actual text for the title. If the title exceeds 17 characters, the remaining characters will be dropped during the import.
Each question must begin with a question number, followed by a period "." The question wording must follow the question number. (Note: at least one space should be between the question number and the question wording.)
General Feedback can be included but it must appear immediately after the question wording and before any of the answer choices. The line must also begin with the @ symbol, and there must be at least one space between the @ symbol and the feedback text.
Correct answers should be indicated by placing an asterisk (*) directly in front of the answer choice (do not put a space between the asterisk and the answer choice).
Feedback for individual answer choices can be added by placing it immediately after the related answer choice and by beginning the line with the @ symbol. There must be at least one space between the @ symbol and the feedback text.
