FastTest PlugIn helps to create almost all types of Moodle questions. 

The following video is a quick explanation of what can be done with this plugin. The audio is in Spanish, but you can activate subtitles in English or "automatically translate" to any language that YouTube has.

The languages that are installed by default are: Spanish (original language), English and French (corrected by experts), Italian, Portuguese, German and Simplified Chinese (translated by Google translator). 

For each type of question, in a single screen, you have all the fields that must be completed (see images). Most of your time will be spent writing the questions. 

MULTIPLE CHOICE	TRUE / FALSE
MATCH ANSWER	ESSAY
SHORT ANSWER	RANDOM SHORT-ANSWER MATCHING
MISSING WORDS	DRAG AND DROP INTO TEXT
CLOZE / DESCRIPTION	CODE CLOZE GENERATOR

Numeric and calculated question types are not generated directly, but can be simulated using Cloze and Excel formulas that use variables. On the YouTube channel there are tutorial videos that explain how to do it. You can create up to 100 identical questions, with different data, and in one go.

Once you've written them into the plugin, the XML file is generated with the push of a button. To create the question bank in Moodle, it only remains to import the XML file, in the corresponding virtual course.

You can use this plugin even if you don't know how to create some kind of question in Moodle. Although it is advisable to know how to do it in Moodle, the important thing is to know how you want to write the question.

FastTest PlugIn also helps create questions with images and formulas. Explain how you can work with them, easily and without losing the links to the images. Another plugin has been created that serves to have a database of both formulas and images. ForImage-Database.zip

The questions can be exported to text documents, in case the user wishes to be able to use them in written exercises.

To use FastTest PlugIn it is necessary to have an Excel program license (higher than version 2007) and to work on the Excel desktop. With the online version of Excel it doesn't work. When opening the plugin it is necessary to give permission to use the macros.

It is not necessary to know how to use Excel. You will only have to write the questions in the corresponding cells. If you are an advanced Excel user, you will get more performance from the add-in.

It is proven to work well on Windows. With MAC it does not work in all versions, nor in all the add-on options.
