With CloudLabs, you can create and distribute Assessments and practice tests by building a test based on various types of questions. CloudLabs uses Git markdown as the source for questions. It is recommended to create a GitHub repository per assessment.

1. Create a GitHub Repository.

2. Provide access to the required members of the team to co-author the practice tests.

3. Each individual track or course will require a separate GitHub repository as well as a directory called Practice-Test-(xx) inside that Repository. (Here (xx) is a numeric value for, e.g., Practice-Test-01.)

4. Create one new directory named Section-(xx) under Practice-Test-(xx) directory.(Here (xx) is a numeric value for e.g., Section-01).

5. We need to create one separate Markdown file for each question under section directory, and the naming convention for the Questions markdown file should be "Question-(xx).md(Here (xx) is a numeric value for e.g., Question-01.md). You can find a sample format for each type of question below, just create a new file for each question or clone an existing file to modify.

6. Create the required number of sections and questions as per your assessment plan and validate the GitHub repo.

7. Once you have created the Practice Test in the GitHub repository by following the steps, please connect with the CloudLabs Services team to onboard the practice test on CloudLabs. The CloudLabs team will set this up as a new template in your tenant which you can use in ODLs to distribute practice tests.
