The question bank is the pool every CBT exam draws from. Build it once per subject and level, and reuse it each term.
Questions are stored by level, not by class
A question belongs to a subject and a level — Mathematics, JSS 1 — rather than to a particular class arm. Every JSS 1 class draws from the same JSS 1 pool, so you write each question once no matter how many arms you run.
This is why levels matter. If your classes aren't tagged with a level, the bank has nothing to organise questions against and will tell you so. Tag them in Settings → Levels, and archive the levels your school doesn't run so the pickers stay short.
Opening a bank
Go to CBT → Question bank and choose a subject, then a level. You can then filter by term, question type and topic to find your way around a large bank.
Adding questions
Three ways, and most schools use all three.
By hand. Write the question, add the options, mark the correct one. Best for a handful of questions or anything with unusual formatting.
Paste existing text. If you already have questions in a document, paste them in and Schola pulls out the questions, options and answers for you to check before saving. This spends AI credits.
Generate. Give a topic and how many questions you want, and Schola drafts them. They arrive as drafts for you to review — treat them as a starting point, not a finished paper. This also spends AI credits.
Anything from the last two lands in a review list where you edit or discard before it enters the bank.
Sections and comprehension passages
Where several questions share a passage or diagram, create a section to hold it and attach the questions to it. The passage shows once, with its questions under it, and stays together when an exam is assembled.
Topics
Tagging questions with topics is optional but pays off quickly — it's what lets you build an exam covering the term's work rather than whatever comes up.
Who can write questions
Teachers can author for the subjects they teach. Admins can author for anything.
