Pull Random Questions from a Pool By Objective
Associate questions with one or more objectives. Then grab a designated number of questions from each objective, giving each student a different exam. The questions and objectives are stored in either SQL Server, Access, or XML -- your choice.

Communicate with a SCORM Learning Management System
Simply check a box in the configuration editor or change your URL query string and your exam will send all interaction information to your SCORM 1.2 or 1.3 (2004) LMS. The exam can be packaged as a complete SCO (including manifest). Exam Engine reads the mastery score, maximum time allowed, and more from the LMS.
Store or Email Individual or Composite Results
In addition to (or instead of) sending results to your LMS, you can have composite results (including question responses and time per question) stored on the web site in Access, SQL Server, or XML. Individual results can be emailed in Word, Excel, HTML, or plain text formats to one or more addresses either automatically or via student interaction. Composite results can be emailed if stored in Access or XML.
Highly Customizable Yet Easy to Use
Questions can be multiple choice (with more than one correct answer if desired), true or false, or fill-in-the-blank. They can have up to eight answers and four levels of feedback. The questions can have an associated graphic or media file. The developer can completely customize the styles and graphics associated with each question state (initial, selected, correct, and incorrect). You can even have a “Show Answers” button display after a defined number of wrong answers. Tweak button positions and graphics if desired or just use the defaults and be up and running in five minutes. Either way, there is absolutely no programming!

Allow Your Subject Matter Experts to Write Questions Rather Than Try to Learn
an Authoring Tool
Exam Engine has a freely-distributed “Question Editor” (with built-in spell checker and thesaurus) that your Subject Matter Experts can use to add, edit, or delete questions. Or they can do this from their browser via the “Exam Engine Editor” program. Either way, they spend their valuable time writing dynamite questions and associating them with objectives rather than trying to learn an authoring tool.
