Twoside option for exam class

TeX - LaTeX Asked by João Coelho on May 11, 2021

I wrote an entire book, 700 pages long, which contains 1000 math questions solved. When I started the book, however, I had no idea what each document class meant. I recently tried to put the book with the twoside option and it didn’t work, searching in the forums I saw that this option doesn’t exist for the exam. I tried to, but I can’t create a resolution environment similar to the one provided by the exam class, with the solution box just below the question. I am sending an image as an example. I need help with: either finding a way to put the exam as twoside, or taking everything to the book and creating a resolution environment similar to the one provided by the exam. I tried some alternatives like the exsol package, and the probsol, but I found the documentation presented quite complex and did not understand what should be done… I know how to place the enumerations of the pages alternating in the exam, but the pages do not shift so that it is in print format.

One Answer

What the twoside option does is enable the alternating of even and odd side margins and also differing headers on even and odd pages. Since exam uses the same margins on all pages and the same headers on all pages, there is no visible effect from the twoside option but it is there.

but the default layout of the exam class won't take advantage of this. For page headers, the fancyhdr package is popular: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr for changing page layout, geometry is commonly used: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/geometry
