Click **Create Set** (or **Create Practice Set**). A set is built in five steps.

## 1. Details

Give the set a **Title** and an optional **Description**.

## 2. Question Source

Choose where the questions come from:

| Source | Questions from |
| --- | --- |
| **Cert Exam Questions** | Past WAEC, NECO and JAMB questions |
| **School Questions** | Your school's own question bank |
| **Mixed** | Both. Drag the **Mix Ratio** to set how many of each. |
| **Cert + Curated** | Past questions with Academium's curated questions |

Then narrow it down: **Cert Exam Types** (none means all), **Subjects**, **Difficulty** (none means any) and **Question Types**. If nothing matches, Surepass says so; try a different combination.

## 3. Settings

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Questions** | How many questions each attempt has |
| **Duration (minutes)** | The time allowed |
| **Exclude previously practiced questions** | Only questions you have not seen. Surepass shows how many are fresh. |
| **Randomise questions** | A different order each attempt |
| **Show answers & explanations** | See the correct answers when you finish |
| **Allow retakes** | Take the set more than once. Set **Max Attempts** (at least 2), or leave it blank for unlimited. |
| **In-Session Tools** | **Accessibility panel**, **Jotter**, **4-figure mathematical tables** and **Calculator** |
| **XP Rewards** | Earn XP for correct answers. **Vary score by difficulty** gives more for hard questions. |
| **Performance Disclosure** | **Live feedback** shows right or wrong after each question. **Delayed gratification** hides everything until you finish. |
| **Pass Mark (%)** | Leave blank for no pass or fail |

## 4. Visibility

| Option | Who can see it |
| --- | --- |
| **Draft** | Saved for later. Only you. |
| **Take Now** | Ready now, only for you |
| **Share with Circle** | Ready, and shared with friends in your circle. Tick who to **Notify**. |

## 5. Review

Check everything and create the set.
