How do I print a quiz?
When you are registered and logged in you will see a "Print as PDF" button at the bottom of every quiz and clicking the button will send a message scurrying to our software to prepare a print for you.  Two printable sheets will be got ready - one that gives only the questions and the other that gives both questions and answers.  You can print either or both as many times as you like.
