# Create, configure, and print QMR exams step by step

> Step-by-step guide to creating an exam in QMR — set exam details, define the answer key, configure rounds, and prepare answer sheets for printing.

Exams are the central object in QMR. Each exam holds the answer key, the paper template that defines how answer sheets are laid out, and one or more rounds (class groups or sittings). This guide covers the full setup flow from creating an exam to printing answer sheets that are ready to distribute.

<Note>
  The answer key must be fully entered before you scan or grade any answer sheets. If an exam shows **입력 필요** (Input Required) in the answers column, grading will not produce accurate results.

## Exam setup flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the exam">
    From the exam list dashboard, click **생성하기** (Create). A dialog opens where you fill in the exam details:

    * **Title** — the exam name, such as "Mid-term" or "Final Exam".
    * **Year** — the academic year the exam belongs to.
    * **Round number** — the overall round of this exam (e.g. 1st sitting of the year).
    * **Subject** — the subject being tested.

    Click **Save** to create the exam. It immediately appears in the exam list with an **활성** (Active) badge.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the answer key">
    Click **상세보기** (Details) next to the new exam to open the exam detail page. Scroll to the **답안 정보** (Answer Information) section. You will see one or more problem sets listed.

    Click **입력하기** (Enter) next to a problem set to open the answer input panel. For each question, enter the correct answer and the point value. When every question in the problem set has an answer entered, the button label changes to **수정하기** (Edit) and the exam list shows a green **입력 완료** (Complete) badge.

    If an exam has multiple problem sets (for example, different sections with different answer formats), repeat this for each set and mark one as the default using the radio button in the Default Answer column.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create exam rounds">
    In the **테스트 그룹 (분반)** (Test Groups / Classes) section of the exam detail page, click **그룹(분반) 추가** (Add Group). Enter a name for the round, such as the class name or period number.

    A round represents one class group or sitting of the exam. You can create as many rounds as you have classes — all rounds share the same exam and answer key, but submissions and statistics are tracked separately per round.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the exam paper template">
    QMR generates answer sheets based on an exam paper template. The template defines the physical layout of the printed sheet:

    * **QR code zone** — where QMR prints the unique QR code that identifies the exam and round.
    * **Student info zone** — where students fill in their name and student ID.
    * **Problem marking areas** — the bubble grids where students mark their answers.

    Paper templates are configured separately in the **Exam Papers** section of the dashboard. Once a template is linked to your exam, QMR uses it to produce the correct layout when generating PDFs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Print answer sheets">
    In the **테스트 그룹 (분반)** section, each round has a **답안지 PDF** (Answer Sheet PDF) column. Click **다운로드** (Download) for a round to generate and download the PDF answer sheets for that group.

    Each sheet in the PDF has a unique QR code that encodes the exam and round. Distribute the printed sheets to students before the exam — QMR uses the QR code to identify the sheet automatically when it is scanned after grading.

    PDF generation takes up to 3 minutes for large groups. The button is disabled while generation is in progress.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manage exam status">
    Active exams appear in the main exam list and continue accepting new scan submissions. To stop accepting submissions for an exam, open the exam detail page and toggle **테스트 활성** (Exam Active) to off. The exam is then shown with a **비활성** (Inactive) badge in the list.

    Deactivating an exam does not delete it — all existing submissions and statistics are preserved.
