Aptitude Test Updates

💡 Guidance: You can now submit your Quiz Set & Cover Letter to us. Instructions can be found here: • 1.3.2 - Submission The deadline for submission is 2021-02-08 at 23:50:00 (Dubai time, check local time here). We strongly recommend that you submit your work at least several hours before the deadline. If you submit early, you will still be able to edit the Quizzes you submit until the deadline passes, at which point they will become uneditable.

💡 Guidance: You should now spend some time performing a final review of your work, to prepare it for submission. Test your Quiz Set end-to-end and make sure that any recent changes you've made have not caused new issues. Additionally, proofread your Cover Letter. Submission will become available tomorrow.

💡 Guidance: You should now have started to test your Quiz Set. To help with this, we have added some extra advice about areas which you should focus on - once the basic testing has been completed: • 1.1.2.1 - Other areas to test We'd also recommend using the quiz.directory platform to share your Quizzes with testers. The steps to do this can be found here. This platform will also be used in the next phase, for peer review. 📚 New & Updated FAQ Entries: • How do I show that non-original media in my Quizzes is allowed to be used? (If you are using non-original public domain or free license media - even if just as a small part of a larger image - you must follow the extra steps outlined in this entry.)

📚 New & Updated FAQ Entries: • Should I create a "Reference Page" for my Quiz? (Added extra clarification about general external links too, full entry below.) We strongly recommend using zero external dependancies, such as pages people need to read before they can take your Quiz. Our Language Evaluation Quiz used a Reference Page to test a very specific reading comprehension skill in depth. A similar effect could be achieved using pre-poll text. Note: This also applies to any external content which is essential to open before the Quiz can be taken, or before specific questions can be answered. Your main focus should be designing questions based on features supported directly by the Quiz platform. • What is considered as "testing vocabulary" or "testing spelling"? • How long should quiz-takers get to answer each question? These additions and clarifications were made because of questions from participants. So, if you have a question which is not already answered in the FAQ, you should ask it in @contests with the tag #AptitudeContestQuestion

📚 New & Updated FAQ Entries: • Should I create a "Reference Page" for my Quiz? • Can I use animations and audio in my Quiz, how about other supported media? • Can one of my questions link to, or expand on, a question from another Quiz in my Set? (Added clarification about questions within the same Quiz.) These additions and clarifications were made because of questions from participants. So, if you have a question which is not already answered in the FAQ, you should ask it in @contests with the tag #AptitudeContestQuestion
