Generate a test key with Questions, Choices, and Correct Choice

Can Lectora generate a true TEST KEY that shows the question, answer choices, and correct choice? ...in text format. I have many lengthy tests (120+ questions). Trainers want true test keys.


The only options that I have been able to find are:

1. Export to Word (Shows questions and choices, but doesn't designate correct choice)

2. Email results (Only shows question and correct choice)


I thought about trying to get it form the .awt file, but not familiar enough with xml to know if this is an option.

Every title with a test generates an xml file when published that contains all the questions, possible answers and the correct answers. It begins with "_tobj" followed by some numbers. This doesn't quite answer your question, but if anyone does know much about xml, it seems that an answer key could be generated from that file.

You can actually import the xml file into Excel and that will give you a key (and more)

That was even easier than I thought. You just need to delete the excess columns and you have an easy-to-read answer key.

Importing the xml file in Excel works great. Thanks so much!
