Everything an exam goes through

Question banks

A question editor with everything a bank needs

• Each question as a form, and beside it the same question as the bank's text format writes it: the format is learnt by looking at it.
• Every question is checked as you type, by the same reader that builds the exams.
• Multiple-choice and open-ended questions, with lines to answer on and a model answer that is never printed.
• Blocks: a case and a picture shared by several questions.
• Fixed order where it matters, so “all of the above” stays last.
• Per question: learning outcome, cognitive level, concept and variant, points, estimated difficulty and status (pilot, active, retired).
• Import from text, Excel or CSV. Every change is saved as you make it and can be undone. Export a bank to share it.

Pro Open-ended questions and per-question details are part of Pro.

Prepare

One form for every student

• Questions and alternatives shuffled in every form: copying from a neighbour stops working.
• Variants of the same concept never land on the same form, and every form adds up to the same score.
• PDF booklets, an encrypted answer key and an answer sheet, ready to print.
• The seed is stored with the key, so the same batch can be rebuilt to reprint a lost form.

Grade

When a sheet is in doubt, you decide

• Any scanner or multifunction printer: PDF, JPG or PNG.
• Copes with slightly skewed sheets, faint photocopies and light marks.
• A sheet it can't read with confidence is shown to you and never guessed at.

Grades

Grades on your own scale

• Pass threshold, minimum, passing and maximum grade, decimals, and a penalty for wrong answers.
• Sort by name, class list or score, and export to a spreadsheet for your institution's platform.
• A badly worded question? Annul it, credit it to everyone or change its key. See which grades change before applying, and undo it afterwards.

AnalysisPro

Item analysis from start to finish

• Quotas by learning outcome, cognitive level or both, when the exam is built.
• Statistics per bank question and not per position: with shuffled forms, that is the only way they mean something.
• KR-20, standard error of measurement, difficulty, discrimination, D-27, position effect and how each distractor was chosen, each with a note on what it means.
• Measured difficulty and discrimination are written back into the bank, so the next exam starts from data.

Courses

The class list, once per term

• Paste the class list from a spreadsheet or import it.
• A grade record across every evaluation in the course, exportable.
