# selecting specific questions

Using the exam package I'm making worksheets for topics. Lets say i make one worksheet with 10 questions however i only want to see questions 2,5,7 and 10. How would i create it so only specific questions are shown on the pdf. So basically the worksheets are like a question bank rather then a whole worksheet/exam paper. Also i would like the shown questions we be numbered 1,2,3... no matter if it is actually 2,5,7...

• Maybe the following can help you: Generate exam from a question bank? – leandriis Mar 1 at 19:43
• i have just found that but its not really helping me much. i dont really want to change my code too much i was just wondering if there was a specific package or something to like print questions 1-6 – Jettie Baker Mar 1 at 19:45
• Without changing much of the code, you could comment the questions you don't want to be included and recompile. This way only the uncommented questions appear and are consecutively numbered. – leandriis Mar 1 at 19:55
• \usepackage{verbatim} and then \begin{comment} and \end{comment} – koleygr Mar 1 at 20:32
• Commenting the lines from \begin{comment} to \end{comment} without need of % on each line.... Thought it was obvious by the names... You need to include in this environment questions 1, 3-4, 6 and 8-10... So, only 2,5 and 7 will remain in your active code – koleygr Mar 1 at 20:50

You can use \iffalse,...,\fi for skipping the desired questions.
