Yes you can! First of all, you can always re-type an existing question into a new test - but you can also copy and paste from the existing test or duplicate the existing test and then remove the questions you don’t want to use.

-Open the “View and Sorting Display Settings” drop down

-Check the box labeled “Display-  *Include Checkbox Next to Question to Select More Than One”*

-Open the  “Options for this List of SELECTED Questions” drop down 

-Select all questions that you want to copy and click the “Copy Questions” button

-Create a new test

-Under the “Questions” tab open the “Test Question Bank” drop down and click “Paste Questions”  

 

OR

 

To Duplicate a test and delete what questions you don't want:

-Open the test

-Under “Parameters” click “Duplicate Test”

-Once in the new test go to the “Questions” tab

-Open the “Advanced Search, View Settings and Options” drop down. 

-Open the “View and Sorting Display Settings” drop down
