Text Formatting ⇒ Change \choice style with examdesign class

[eliaspoky]

Hi,

I'm working with examdesign multiple choice exams. I use this because I can make the questions go random.

I want to know how can I change the \choice style on the {multiplechoice} environment. I have this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{examdesign}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[top=2cm,left=2cm,right=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{amssymb, amsmath, amsbsy} 
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{verbatim} 
\usepackage{pifont}
\SectionFont{\large\sffamily}
\Fullpages
%\ContinuousNumbering
%\ShortKey
\DefineAnswerWrapper{}{}
\NumberOfVersions{2}
\IncludeFromFile{foobar.tex}
%\NoKey
%\NoRearrange
\ShortKey

\begin{document}
\begin{multiplechoice}[title={PSU}, resetcounter=yes, rearrange=yes, keycolumns=5]
  \begin{question}
   $5 \{- (4 - 5) - 3[-2 + 3 - (-8 - 3)]\} =$
    \choice[!]{ $-175$     }
    \choice{$150$}
    \choice{$-50$}
    \choice{$-40$}
  \end{question}
\end{multiplechoice}
\end{document}

That gives to me something like:

(a) -175
(b) 150
(c) -50
(d) -40

but what I want is something like:

A) -175
B) 140
C) -50
D) -40

Do you know what can I do?

Thanks.

Looking through the examdesign class files, there is no mechanism to change this behavior. So, you'll have to redefine the command. The following should do the trick. Place it just before the \begin{document}

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\exam@DefaultChoice}[2][]{%
  \ifchoice \relax
    \else \@mcstartlist \choicetrue
  \fi
  \ifanswer
    \if#1!%
      \ifbox \vspace{-\fboxsep}\item[\hfill\fbox{\Alph{choice})}\hfill] #2
        \vspace{-\fboxsep}%
      \else
         \item[\hfill\MCfont{\Alph{choice})}\hfill] \MCfont{#2}%
      \fi
    \else \item[\hfill\Alph{choice})\hfill] #2
    \fi
    \stepcounter{choice}%
  \else
    \item[\hfill\Alph{choice})\hfill] #2
    \stepcounter{choice}%
  \fi}
\makeatother

Have a nice day

1. How to forward and reverse search with examdesign? Always back to "\end{document}" in reverse search.
2. How to left aligned number of question as image below.

3. I use Google Translate. Thanks.

Welcome, i don't know what you mean by forward and backward search with examdesign. Can you elaborate?

For the second part, we will need a minimal working example.

Welcome, i don't know what you mean by forward and backward search with examdesign. Can you elaborate?

For the second part, we will need a minimal working example.

1. How to inverse search when use examdesign clsass? I can't. Example:

Code: Select all

https://www.sharelatex.com/project/581206c62fa176004c871af6

It come back to "\end{document}".
2. How to left align number questions. Example: 9 and 10 not left align in above link.
Thank.

I still don't know what the first part is about.

For the second however, you can use

Code: Select all

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[enumerate]{align=left}
