I am playing with the whole idea of question banks, seeing as AMC can create exams with different sets of questions for each student.

What has been stopping me so far is that entering lots of questions in LaTex source can be a bit of a drag.

1. One can use AMC-TXT format instead to quickly enter a large number of questions, compile it ('update documents') and then take a look in DOC-filtered.tex. Questions are all there in proper LaTex format. Great! Copying questions from already made quizzes in .docx format and than tweaking them to work in AMC-TXT is MUCH easier than putting them directly in LaTex format.

2. If I could compile DOC-filtered.tex directly, then all I have to is play with \insertgroup settings and that could output different
quizzes with different sets of questions.

3. As it happens, I don't know how to use this document as a source. If I try to feed it as a source of a next project AMC doesn't want
to 'update documents'. I've tried changing the engine to xetex and still no results.

4. No problem, one can simply copy the LaTex formatted questions from DOC-filtered.tex into another exam template and fiddle
with \insertgroup there.

QUESTIONS:

1. What would it take to use DOC-filtered.tex directly as a source of a new project?
Could one just tweak the preamble a bit to make it work?

2. AMC has neat first and last options to fine-tune the order of questions in groups.
I've tried to look at DOC-filtered.tex to figure out how it is translated to LaTex, but I am a bit
lost. Could the code author explain how to use \def\insertPlainGroupunnamedD{\insertgroup{unnamedD} and suchlike
in Latex? Or should we just rename the groups and use \insertgroup on many small groups to fine-tune the order in LaTex source?

Thanks,
