* Show Problem Status (problemstatus)
A suggestion for online exams is to inhibit the problem status. The student won't know if a problem is correct or not if you select no. This way, you can give the student 99 tries, but their tries act more like an eraser. They don't actually get a response with feedback to try something else.
* Exam Type (problemstyle)
Ingore this parameter if it is viewable.
* Question Type (type)
Setting Question Type to exam will turn numerical answers into multiple choice.

To test out an exam, make sure that the open and due dates are appropriately set so students can't access your questions. Then, enroll yourself as a student and set appropriate open dates and due dates for yourself so you can test things out.
