Text Formatting ⇒ Exam class Question Numbering

[coachbennett1981]

I am writing a final exam for my Precalculus class and have a calculator and non-calculator portion (2 different documents). I am use the exam documentclass and I am wondering if there is a way to change the numbering system (i.e start question numbering on 25 rather than 1). Here is part of the document. Below is a bit more that a working class example. Any help would be appreciated..

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{exam}

\geometry{letterpaper}                   % ... or a4paper or a5paper or ... 
%\geometry{landscape}                % Activate for for rotated page geometry
%\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}    % Activate to begin paragraphs with an empty line rather than an indent

Hi,

simply give the appropriate value to the question counter:

Code: Select all

\begin{questions}
  \setcounter{question}{24}
  \question...
\end{questions}

Thanks for your post. But it does not work for matching and true/false questions.

Code: Select all

[latex]\begin{truefalse}[title={True/False)},suppressprefix]
Please True or False bla bla
 \begin{questions}
  \setcounter{question}{24}
\begin{question}
  \answer{True} For purposes of evaluating the credibility of a source, a  statement is less credible if the statement maker knows that his or her   reputation is at risk.
\end{question}

\begin{question}
  \answer{True} A deductively valid argument can have true premises and a true
  conclusion.
\end{question}

\begin{question}
  \answer{True} A proposition and its double negation are logically equivalent.
\end{question}[/latex]

The original post uses the exam class, but there is no {truefalse} environment in this package.

Did you use the examdesign Please update you post to a minimal working example and idealy start a new thread
