<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Torsten<br>
<br>
I've created a lot of exams using only the article class, and a lot of customisation w.r.t. "\newcommand".<br>
<br>
Will send some samples when I get home.<br>

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