+
+exam.cls is a LaTeX2e class meant for the production
+of exam questions. It is built as an extension to
+existing document classes like article, etc.

+With exam.cls one can:
+- produce an exam
+- produce an exam with answers
+- produce a collection of exam questions
+
+Various forms of questions are possible:
+- multiple choice

+
+It is possible to collect small variations of a question
+into one main question and select the different possibilities
+with a parameter. Also builtin is a random generator, providing
+random shuffling of multiple choice alternatives, etc.

+The file exam.cfg is included as an example how to customize typesetting.
+

+First produce exam.cls by running exam.ins on exam.dtx,
+then typeset the documentation in exam.dtx (the examples
+in the tutorial section of the documentation use exam.cls;
+ignore the LaTeX warning on the requested package).
