In Tests and Quizzes, when you're creating a question for an assessment, you can assign it to an existing question pool by using the Select a pool name drop-down list next to "Assign to Question Pool". For more information, see Creating questions for an assessment.

For more information on question types, see Types of questions available for assessments and Creating questions for an assessment.
