This article is intended for instructors wanting to learn more about Question Banks.
# **Overview**
- Question Banks are the Ultra equivalent to Question Pools in Original Course View. They allow instructors to import and store questions within the course for later use in an assessment.
- Instructors can copy Question Banks/Pools from their other HuskyCT courses or import 3rd party publisher test questions.
### Supported Question Types
- Ultra currently supports [12 question types](https://help.blackboard.com/Learn/Instructor/Ultra/Tests_Pools_Surveys/Question_Types). If you import a pool with unsupported questions, those questions will be removed, while the other questions will be imported.
