Customizing Chapter Names in Exam Class

I am preparing a multiple choice test book for my students in exam class. This book covers a few different topic, so I want to add chapter names at the beginning of each topic. As you can see in my MWE, it complies without any error, but titlesec do not modify the chapter name, it just writes the chapter name. Could you kindly address the problem here ?



The MWE:



documentclass[11pt]{exam}
usepackage{lipsum}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{pgf}
usepackage{multicol}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{color}
usepackage{mdframed}
footer{}{thepage}{}
usepackage[top=1in, bottom=1.25in, left=0.8in, right=0.8in]{geometry}

usepackage{xcolor}
usepackage{titlesec}
usepackage{hyperref}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage[percent]{overpic}
usepackage{fix-cm}
newcommandctformatchapter[1]{%
parbox[b][6cm][b]{dimexpr.5textwidthrelax}{%
raggedright%
textcolor{cyan!50!blue}{textsf{#1}}%
}%
}
titleformat{chapter}[display]%
{fontsize{20pt}{20pt}bfseriesselectfont}%
{%
raggedleft{%
begin{overpic}[width=0.5textwidth]{Untitled.png}
put (38,22) {{fontsize{50pt}{50pt}selectfonttextsf{Roman{chapter}}}}
put (20,50) {textcolor{cyan!50!blue}{textsf{Chapter}}}
end{overpic}
}%
}%
{-6.5cm}%
{ctformatchapter}%
[phantomsection]

begin{document}
chapter{Introduction}
begin{multicols}{2}
lipsum[1-5]
end{multicols}
end{document}


It produces:enter image description here



Thanks in advance,



Cheers.

  • Exam class uses LoadClass{article}, but your MWE deosn't work with article class either. Come to think of it, article doesn't support chapter.
