random-exam

Use LaTeX and conditional statements to generate customized exams

Use pdflatex with a string input that defines two variables:

seed: Generation Seed. Meant for randomization.
user: Constant for the user. Meant for Student identifiers (e.g., Matric).
mode: Generation Mode. Meant for conditional document generation. i.e., decide whether to create the exam or the solution.

By default, generates with seed = 1, user = "A01234567X" and mode = "Exam".

Generate output

pdflatex "\def\seed{1}\def\mode{Exam}\def\user{A01234567X} \input{exam.tex}"

pdflatex "\def\seed{2}\def\mode{Answer}\def\user{A9876544Y} \input{exam.tex}"
