This allows administrators to specific which questions should be on the Assessment Form.** * Select **Add** under the Specifications panel. * Choose **Static** as the **Specification Type** * Specification Types: * Static (Fixed identically for all attempts): A form with this specification has a fixed set of questions in a fixed sequence, which is determined by the author of the form. Every learner who starts an attempt on form with a Static specification sees exactly the same set of questions in exactly the same sequence. * Dynamic ( Generated randomly per attempt): A form with this specification does not have a fixed set of questions. If two learners start an attempt on this type of form, then each learner may be presented with a different set of questions and/or questions in a different sequence. * Create a **Specification Name** * Select an optional **Consequence Type** (high, medium, low). Indicates the stakes for exam forms following this specification. * Enter an **From Limit** on the maximum number of forms that can be generated based on this specification. * Enter an **Question Item Limit** on the maximum number of questions allowed on each exam. * Select the Disclosure Type (None, Partial, Full). This selection affects the information learners receive about their performance on the exam when it’s submitted. Full is best practice for exams with multiple forms and randomized questions. For non-randomized exams; not a good idea for full disclosure, use partial. * Enter a **Passing Score (%)**, the minimum score required to pass the exam. * Enter an **Weight on Success (%)** - If the student/candidate passes the exam, what weight is applied to the submission score? * Enter an **Weight on Failure (%)** - If the student/candidate fails the exam, what weight is applied to the submission score? * Select one or more **Question Sets** you would like to include. * Click **Save** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/assessments/specifications-forms/creating-specification.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
