Creating Multi-Part Tests Online or Off, Free
Dec 30th, 2007 by Scott Walker
Tests that are included with textbooks or other teacher resources can be hit or miss, and often, creating your own tests and quizzes is the best way to accurately assess your students knowledge on a subject. But, it can take a while to go about formatting a test from scratch using word processing applications. That’s where Easy Test Maker steps in.
Easy Test Maker is an online test generator that has the ability to make multi-part exams with minimal setup time, and it’s free. Typically you only need to select the question type and begin typing your tests content. It handles multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer, true/false, and matching.
Aside from ease of use there are a couple of added bonuses in using this solution. You also have the ability to quickly generate answer sheets, and saved tests can be easily accessed anywhere you have an internet connection.
If these features aren’t enough for you and you want to create multiple versions of the same test, and manage a question bank you can sign up with their premium account(14.95 per year).
If you are looking for a less web-based solution you could aslo check out the free templates available to you through Word. Word offers a pretty good test template for creating multi-part tests. These templates can be accessed via their website or through Word itself. To access the templates in Word, open a new document. Under templates select “more” and navigate to the quizzes and tests. There you will find a handful of useful templates for creating your tests. You won’t get the ease of generating answer sheets, or ability to access your work online, but you will find that you won’t have to do any more formatting than copy and pasting.
