Where to Find Question Types
Go to the Question Bank from within any program (DA, CD, SAT, SHSAT, or any newly created program).
Navigate to My Library.
Open the relevant folder.
Click Add Question and select Question type where the full list of supported question types for that program will appear.
Always verify the program context before adding questions. A question type that appears in one program may not be available in another.
