Hi all,

I am setting up a test with several MC questions and a few numeric questions
I am trying to use AMCnumericChoices but I don't want to print the numeric tests
on the answer sheet of the MC questions. Is this possible? At the moment the box for the numeric
choice appear inside the columns of the separate answer sheet and I can't use it.

If I understand well, you need to print (on the separate answer sheet) together the answers for numeric choices in one column, and the others in two columns?
This is not yet possible, but it is in my TODO list... Added #272

No, not really. What I meant is that sometimes one need to use a separate answer sheet for a set of questions (mainly for MC questions),
but in the same test it would be better to have numeric questions written normally and not with a separate answer sheet.
Something like using the option for a separate answer sheet only for the MCQ section of the test.
Is this possible?

You can add question in your test that are not taken into account for the MCQ part: just don't use the question environment, but instead print the questions you want with \par, \bf and so on…

I am trying to do that, but if I write a question inside one copy using, for example

\FPeval\VQa{trunc(random*15/10,2)}
\FPeval\VQs{(VQa/10)}
Calculate $\VQa/10$
\AMCnumericChoices{\VQs}{digits=3,decimals=2,borderwidth=2pt,backgroundcol=lightgray,approx=5}
AMCnumericChoices{\VQs}{digits=3,decimals=2,borderwidth=2pt,backgroundcol=lightgray,approx=5}

I don't get any numeric box.

\AMCnumericChoices can only be used inside a question-like environment. I'm afraid I don't understand what you need exactly: can you provide an example?

I am attaching two files (the tex source and the final pdf). As you can see the numeric boxes are not displayed.
I'd like to have numeric boxes just below the last question.

Hi, is the problem clearer? I just need to append some numeric questions after the answer sheet.
Is there any possibility to do that?

Perhaps with some kind of hack...
I am not sure if the following works: please test it extensively before using it.

\makeatletter
\def\AMCcloseForm{\AMC@zoneformulairefalse\AMC@ensemblefalse}
\makeatother

Then enclose your Part II block along with this new command:
{\AMCcloseForm

\begin{center}
{\bf Parte II} \\
{\bf Domande a risposta libera}
\end{center}
\vspace{3em}

\begin{questionmultx}{prova}
\FPeval\VQa{trunc(random*15/10,2)}
\FPeval\VQs{(VQa/10)}
Calcolare $\VQa/10$.
\AMCnumericChoices{\VQs}{digits=3,decimals=2,borderwidth=2pt,backgroundcol=lightgray,approx=5}
\end{questionmultx}
}
