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.

	We really like your product and I look forward to using the new version which I believe can now store student responses in the Exam Engine database without having to involve our LMS. We used Exam Engine for a Spanish Placement test this summer to better place new Spanish students. I produced a Crystal Report from the results which allowed the language chair to make placement decisions (for those students who completed the online test) start to finish in under an hour--before it took hours to manually grade the tests before even starting the placement process! I also produced a summary report by question category which gives the Spanish teachers heads up about areas that incoming students are weak. Next year we want to expand it out to other languages and departments.
	I thought Exam Engine was a perfect solution when I found it and was not disappointed. Also, we definitely appreciate the custom tweaks you created for us (e.g. hiding the detailed results and creating the redirect when SCORM connection not established). `
	Exam Engine is being utilized to develop web-based testing for our clients. This tool was selected because of its ease of use and because it has the capability to tie an objective To a question. This is useful to help determine additional training requirements based on test results. We have successfully developed and launched this application over the web to our utility and healthcare clients. For the utility industry, we used Exam Engine to develop a Knowledge Assessment Test or pre-test for dispatchers comprised of several hundred test questions. Because of the capability of Exam Engine, our utility clients can use the results of these tests to determine which objectives require further training.
