This dialog is multipage, therefore to choose some page, click the appropriate node of the test properties category tree in the left part of the dialog.

3. Go to the Description page and enter “Lesson 3 – Creating a new test from an existing one 4. Then go to the Questions page. Note, that a new test differs from the Lesson 1 by the absence of the second question and presence of one new question. 2 other questions remain constant. It means that we must delete second test question and add one more question.
4.1. Let’s delete the second test question – select (make current) appropriate list item and make the following actions:
press Delete Question button on the Questions toolbar (see the image below).
There is a built-in test data integrity check which is used at changing the data. Question deletion is also one of the controlled operations. When you delete something, Test Accuracy Wizard Dialog Box opens (see the image below). To delete a question, press OK button.
Question list after deletion looks like:
