I have found the exam class useful. I think it does a lot of what you<br>
require. You may see the documentation at<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I was wondering if there is any preferred method (class) to create<br>
written exams with LaTeX.<br>
My exams consist basically only of two large exercises with subitems.<br>
Sometimes I would need a graphic and there is need for equations.<br>
There are about 100-150 subscribers for a single exam.<br>
<br>
I checked on CTAN and there are some packages. I simply wonder which<br>
one is in common use, or which one is more or less obsolete.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, I would like to introduce some automatism which makes<br>
it easier for me to rate the exams later. E.g. I was thinking to ask<br>
students to fill in the answers in allocated spaces.<br>
Another idea would be some automation to create solution sheets,<br>
point and mark tables, etc.<br>
<br>
I am aware that I might not be able to achieve the last ideas with<br>
pure LaTeX. Thus, I am happy to hear what other method you use for<br>
this task. E.g. I thought about using org-mode on emacs to create a<br>
metasystem which enables me to keep all (exam, evaluation, scoring,<br>
solution sheet, etc.) in one file but to generate exam sheets from it.<br>
<br>
Thanks for comments, solutions and ideas<br>
<br>
Torsten<br>
