Hello,

 

Thank you for the wonderful product. Can you please let us know how we can
create different types of quizzes and tests, using OpenOffice?

First step would be to create a large pool of questions, answer choices, and correct answers. One way to do this (but by no means the only way) would be to create each question in a separate document, filed under a keyed filename like 2-114.txt, 2-115.txt, etc., for section and question number. Then use a random number generator to select questions by section (2-*) and number (*-115). Finally, these questions could be pulled into a single document using a UNO script and/or conditional formatting. You can create a single test document, or you can individualize it and produce separate tests for each student. That script would be as much work as coming up with 500 or so questions for each topic, but in the end it might be worth it. 

This sort of system has advantages: The pool of questions can be enormous, so you can give out the test and the answers to the class if they want them (or provide a link to the files). Any student who can memorize the answers to all 500 questions in section 1 would probably have a good command of the material just by rote memory. 

Right after the Freedom of Information Act was passed, some enterprising would-be pilots requested the test questions and answers to the commercial pilot’s exam. The FAA provided them: All 750 questions on navigation; airmanship; regulations; etc. So having the test questions provided them with no shortcuts. It did, however, aid several enterprising instructors in creating ground schools directed at passing the tests. 

Alternatively, create the question pool, develop the selection script, then sell the question pool to students as a study guide.

Well, OpenOffice consist of a Word Processor, a Spreadsheet, a Database, 
a Presentation and Drawing Tool.
As far as I know it is not a Quiz or Test tool.
Maybe if you have a more specific question we're able to give some 
guidance but your question is too broad.
