How to upload a test

QUESTION
Can you give me some info on how to upload a test? What format must
the questions/answers be in before attempting to upload? What
program(s) are acceptable for creating tests to upload?

ANSWER
 You need to write the test in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft
Office or Libre Office (free program for all types of computers).

 In any major spreadsheet program, one of the file saving options is
"CSV" which stands for Comma-Separated-Values.  This is a basic data
exchange format which is readable and understandable by many different
programs / computer operating systems.
 In the spreadsheet, you want one question per row of the spreadsheet,
with the question text in the first column, the correct answer in the
second column, and any other answer options in additional columns.
 Save as a .csv file, and upload that file in the multiple choice section.
