Add Formula Sheet to a Quiz

Last Modified on 04/14/2026 11:32 am CDT

During a quiz, the instructor has the option to provide students with a Formula Sheet. In the process described in this article, the Formula Sheet PDF file will be incorporated as a link in the quiz header. Clicking the link will open the PDF in a new browser tab regardless of the quiz's length, ensuring students can access the Formula Sheet without scrolling within the quiz. This functionality also extends to Respondus LockDown Browser, requiring no additional modifications in the Respondus settings.

To generate the Formula Sheet PDF file, we recommend using Microsoft Word in conjunction with the EquatIO desktop version. EquatIO Editor provides numerous formulas as depicted in the image below. Instructors have the flexibility to choose the application that best fits their needs.
