How it's used
Refers specifically to the content or individual questions within an assessment rather than the entire exam event. While it functions as a noun, it is most commonly encountered in academic or formal contexts regarding test integrity or difficulty. Use 試卷 when referring to the physical paper or the entire set of questions.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 試題, which is a broader term for any test item. Learners often use 考題 when they actually mean the entire exam session or the act of taking an exam, which should be expressed as 考試.
