OpenBoard

Typst template and framework for creating professional and clean exams of any kind, in the style of College Board exams.

• The template is colorless to be as print-friendly as possible.

• The template uses free fonts already included in the Typst web app to minimize external dependencies. The instructional font is Roboto Slab, the primary font is STIX Two Text, and the math font is STIX Two Math.

• The template is extremely modular and flexible, supporting multiple choice questions with unlimited choices, free response questions with unlimited subquestions (blank, ruled, and graph templates), and long-form essay style questions.

Building an assessment:

Import and initialize the template.

#import "openboard.typ": *

#show: doc => template(
  paper: "us-letter",
  doc,
)

// The rest of the assessment will go here.

A prompt is an enumerated 'question' in the assessment.

#prompt[
  Question goes here.
]

The prompt can have a multiple-choice attachment.

#prompt[
  Question goes here.
  #mcq(
    [These options],
    [are automatically],
    [enumerated with letters A, B, C, etc.],
    [and can be as many or few],
    [as you wish],
  )
]

Alternatively, prompts can have a free-response attachment.

#prompt[
  This is the overall problem statement.
  #frq(
    [
      Sub-questions can have blank space for response.
      #space(1) // Increase the number for more or less space.
    ],
    [
      They can have ruled/lined paper for a more structured written response.
      #ruled(5) // Increase the number for more or less lines.
    ],
    [
      They can have empty graph paper as well.
      #graph(22, 10) // Change the numbers to change the (X, Y) size of the graph.
    ],
  )
]

This is a free response with no subparts.

#prompt[
  This is the overall problem statement.
  #ruled(5)
]
