What you will learn in this guide. This guide covers how to edit a live test after you've already created it, updating its details, schedule, and prizes, as well as editing or adding questions. If you haven't created a live test yet, start with How to Create and Publish a Live Test first.

Who this is for. Teachers with an existing live test (published or still in draft) who need to change something about it.

  • Edit or Add Questions

Edit Test Details

Step 1: Open Your Live Test

Go to Live Tests in the sidebar and open the test you want to edit. On the test's page, you will see its current status (which can be Drafts, Upcoming, or Live), along with Enrollment, Revenue, and Prize Pool figures. Click Edit Details.

Open the Live Tests section in the Testkart Teacher's App to manage your existing Live Test.

This opens the same 4-step editor used when the test was created: Basic Info → Schedule → Prizes → Review.

Step 2: Update Basic Info

On this step, you can edit the Test Title, Description (both with an AI tag if you want Testkart to help rewrite them), Exam Name, Language, Duration, Price, and Max Seats.

Edit your Live Test details on Testkart, including the test title and description.

Step 3: Update the Schedule

Move to the Schedule step to change the registration deadline, start time, and end time for your test.

Review your Live Test details on Testkart, including the test title, description, duration, price, and maximum seats before submitting it for review.

Step 4: Update Prizes

On the Prizes step, you can edit your Prize Ranks  each row sets a rank range (From Rank to To Rank) and the Amount per Winner for that range. Click + Add Rank Range to add another tier, or remove one using the × next to it. Testkart automatically calculates your Total Prize Pool based on what you've entered.

Step 5: Review and Save

On the final Review step, double-check everything before saving. Testkart flags any missing optional items here  for example, no thumbnail set, no intro video added, no "What You'll Master" points, or no requirements added  each with a Fix link to jump straight back and complete it. Use Edit on any section to make further changes.

Review your Live Test details on Testkart and check important settings before making the test available to students.

Once everything looks right, save your changes to update the live test.

Edit or Add Questions

Step 1: Open Manage Questions

From your live test's page, click Manage Questions. This takes you to the subject and question view for this test.

Manage questions in your Testkart Live Test by adding, importing, or bulk-uploading questions.

Step 2: Edit an Existing Question or Add a New One

To edit a question that's already there, click the pencil (edit) icon next to it. To add a new one, click + Add Question.

Step 3: Update the Question Details

This opens the same question form used when adding questions  Question Type, + Marks / − Marks, and the Question Text editor. Make your changes to the question, its options, or the correct answer.

Add New Question to your Live Test by selecting the question type, setting marks, and entering the question content.

Step 4: Save

Save the question once you're done editing it.
