The exam class allows questions to be multiple choice or free form long/short answer questions. Options include the typesetting of the exam itself, an exam showing all the answers and a collection of questions and answers. Questions can be parameterized. Use of a random generator provides for automatic shuffling of multiple choice items.

The exam and the examdesign bundles also provide a class called 'exam'. Those bundles are therefore incompatible with the exams bundle, and should not be installed on the same system. The author is Hans van der Meer. See also answers.
