Creating True/False

True/False questions present a statement and ask students to determine whether it is true or false. They are the simplest question type — fast to create and auto-graded instantly.

Step-by-Step Creation

Navigate to Questions

Go to Questions → Create Question from the sidebar.

Select True/False type

Choose "TRUE_FALSE" from the Question Type dropdown.

Write the statement

Enter a clear, unambiguous statement in the question text field. The statement should be definitively true or false.

Set the correct answer

Select whether the statement is True or False using the correctValue field.

Set points and difficulty

Assign marks and select the difficulty level. True/False questions are typically 1 point each.

Save

Click Save. The question is created in DRAFT status.

True/False-Specific Fields

In addition to the common fields (question text, points, difficulty, subject, tags), True/False questions have these specific fields:

Field	Required	Type	Description
Correct Value	Required	select	Whether the statement is True or False. This is the correct answer students must select.
True Label	Optional	text	Custom label for the "True" option. Defaults to "True". Useful for localization or alternate phrasing like "Correct" or "Yes".
False Label	Optional	text	Custom label for the "False" option. Defaults to "False". Can be changed to "Incorrect" or "No".

Data Structure

The True/False data object (TrueFalseData) stores:

correctValue — boolean (true or false)
labels — optional object with trueLabel and falseLabel strings

Custom Labels

Custom labels are useful for non-English assessments or when you want alternate phrasing. For example, you might use "Fact" / "Myth" for a science quiz or "Agree" / "Disagree" for a survey-style assessment.

Tips for Effective True/False Questions

Use clear, unambiguous statements — avoid double negatives or complex phrasing that makes the statement confusing rather than testing knowledge.
Test one concept per statement — don't combine two facts where one is true and the other false.
Avoid absolutes — words like "always", "never", and "all" are often giveaways. Use them sparingly.
Balance true and false answers — aim for a roughly 50/50 split across your question set to prevent guessing patterns.
Keep statements concise — long, wordy statements increase reading time without adding assessment value.

When to Use True/False

True/False questions work best for quick comprehension checks, warm-up assessments, and verifying factual knowledge. For deeper understanding, pair them with essay or MCQ questions in the same exam.
