Make
professional-quality tests and quizzes in a snap. Creating and printing a quiz,
test, or exam, has never been easier. Schoolhouse Test makes a time-consuming
chore a whole lot easier and the result considerably more professional. Some of
our customers have even hinted that creating tests with Schoolhouse Test can
actually be an enjoyable process. While we can't guarantee that, we can
guarantee that test-making with Schoolhouse Test will be more fun than whatever
system you're using now.
Assess learning
with varied question types
With Schoolhouse
Test you can design custom tests to evaluate learning in any subject area using
eight different question types: multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, matching,
short answer, list, order, true/false, long answer. Using various question types
in your tests will make the test more interesting and challenging for your
students. It can also make it easier to assess learning for material that does
not conform to just the multiple-choice question type.
Save paper and
cut marking time
One of the more
popular features of Schoolhouse Test is the answer sheet. You can automatically
create an answer sheet for students to record their answers on and save the
actual test document for future use. Saves paper and photocopier costs. The
answer sheet also makes for easy marking. Simply place a student answer sheet on
top of the answer key on a lighted surface (such as an overhead projector) and
you can score an entire test in seconds.
Create your
first test in minutes
And Schoolhouse
Test is surprisingly easy to use and very intuitive. It incorporates three views
or work areas depending on the current task. You use the design view to
construct your test, the document view to format the test and see exactly what
it will look like when printed, and the answer sheet view to format the answer
sheet and see what it will look like when printed, if you have opted to use an
answer sheet that is.
One test,
different questions
One of the top
time-saving features in the design view is the option to activate and deactivate
questions. You can, for example, design a master test with 100 questions but
only use selected questions at a given time, turning them on and off as the
situation demands.
Same questions,
different tests
Another
time-saving feature in the design view is the randomize function. You can, with
a just a couple of mouse clicks, randomize all the selected questions in the
test so that they are in a different order. You can even randomize elements
within questions. So you can generate many different tests using the same
question set.
A few more
features to ease the test-making pain
Create tests with
hundreds, even thousands, of questions.
Activate and
deactivate test items with just a click of a checkbox.
Assign and display
marks for each question
Display the total
marks for the test on the first page of the test.
Add a picture to
each question.
Use the section
and divider lines to highlight areas of the test.
Back-up your work
automatically - an invaluable feature if your computer is prone to power
outages.
Select alternate
lettering for multiple choice answers to meet formatting standards set by some
USA state education authorities.
