RUNNING A TEST

Each question in the set is displayed in turn, the order being randomized if this option has been selected, with the question text appearing first followed by the list of possible answers. If an exhibit (graphic) has been selected for the question this will also be displayed.

Answers may be selected by clicking on the radio button / check box or the answer text itself.

  • Navigation buttons:
    • Next - moves to Next question in set
    • Previous - moves to Previous question in set
    • Goto - opens a window with a list of question numbers to permit user to select/view question required. This is particularly useful to go to Marked questions (see below)
  • End Test - stops timer, evaluates results and enables review button if errors were made.
    Note: TestMaster keeps a tally of all questions viewed (whatever order they are viewed in) and evaluates results based on the number of questions seen and how many of those were answered correctly. This allows the user to get a fair representation of their success even if only part of the test is completed.
  • Mark - sets the current question as marked (or clears the mark) so that it may be reviewed later. To review marked questions use the Goto button which shows all marked questions.
  • Answer - shows the answer to the current question and any comments / explanation provided.
    Note: this option can be disabled via the 'Application | Answers Permitted' menu item in the initial TestMaster window, to allow users to avoid the temptation of cheating during a test.
  • Save Results - on completion of a test the evaluated results can be saved to the summary file. If an attempt to close the window is made without saving the results you will be prompted to save them.
  • Review - the 'End Test' button when pressed becomes the Review button if any answers were incorrect. All incorrect answers can then be reviewed using the Next/Previous buttons. The correct answer and comments (if provided) will be displayed along with the user's incorrect answer.
