Easily Inserting and Editing Formulas in Your Exams

DoExam seamlessly integrates LaTeX functionality and incorporates the ability to insert formulas directly in your desired field or within the exam upload file process. This allows users to effortlessly incorporate mathematical expressions directly into their questions or answers.

Accessing the Formula Option

In all types of questions and their answers, you can click the arrow icon next to your desired field and then click the sigma sign (Σ) to open the Formula Modal.

How to Use the Formula Option

You can enter mathematical expressions, symbols, and equations in this form.

2. Before finalizing your formula, you can preview it in the inserted field to check for any formatting or syntax errors.
