custom numbering of tasks in the frame

Question

I want to make some kind of variant of the exam on A4 sheet. So I have a question, how to make custom numbering of assignments like on this photo? If it is possible, it would be desirable that this numbering could be called by a custom command. I need the easiest way possible

Answer 1

You can simply override the \questionlabel as follows:

\renewcommand{\questionlabel}{\fbox{\thequestion}}

Here is a complete example:

\documentclass{exam}

\renewcommand{\questionlabel}{\fbox{\thequestion}}

\begin{document}

\begin{questions}
\question When in doubt, should one provide a minimal working example?
\question When in doubt, should one provide some minimal working example?
\end{questions}

\end{document}

If you want, you can also control the width of the box with following override instead:

\renewcommand{\questionlabel}{\framebox[1cm]{\thequestion}}
