# Simple multiple choice exam

Good day. Im new to latex and I want ti create a simple multiple choice test as shown below:

1. What is the sum of the sides of a polygon called?

A. Leg B. Perimeter C. Area D. Volume

2. Wat is the product of -2 and 3?

A. -6 B. 6 C. 5 D. -5

*I want the A, B, C, D to be be aligned with the choices in the other numbers.

• Thanks for telling us about your plans. However, the site is designed for questions and answers rather than personal announcements. Perhaps Facebook would be a better place for this? – cfr Jun 18 '17 at 2:49
• Take a look on CTAN. There are lots of packages and documentclasses for exams: ctan.org/topic/exam – Henri Menke Jun 18 '17 at 3:02
• If you have an actual question rather than looking for general guidance, please add a minimal working example (MWE) to your question. For now I'm voting to close as "too broad". Please ping me once you updated the question so I can retract the close vote or vote to reopen. – Henri Menke Jun 18 '17 at 3:02
• @HenriMenke I don't think it is a 'broad' question. The question is how to align the choices across different MCQs. – Troy Jun 18 '17 at 3:18

You can use, for example, the package tasks.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
\item What is the sum of the sides of a polygon called?
\begin{choice}
\item Leg
\item Perimeter
\item Area
\item Volume
\end{choice}
\item What is the product of $-2$ and $3$?
\begin{choice}
\item $-6$
\item $6$
\item $5$
\item $-5$
\end{choice}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
