The Want File (Simple Version)

The want file (for example 227f15h1.w) specifies which questions are to be used on an exam, how these questions should be scrambled, how many points they are worth, as well as some text that goes into the output of grad, and specifications of other options which are not usually used. This is a very simplified version, for an exam with only multiple choice questions, to produce 4 versions with both the order of the questions and the answers scrambled, all 16 questions of equal value totaling 100 points. For a complete description of the many options, see The Want File. Here is a want file for the first midterm in course 227, having 16 questions
