Maketest and Taketest: Two Computer Programs for Constructing and Administering Objective Tests

Abstract

Two computer programs, MAKETEST and TAKETEST, have been written in BASICA to facilitate the construction, administration, and scoring of objective tests. A variety of tests can be constructed and scored by program MAKETEST and accessed by program TAKETEST. Codes for accessing the two programs, and a list of student IDs, may also be stored by MAKETEST. The programs facilitate the administration of tests to small groups using IBM PCs or compatibles, and can provide for makeup tests as well as immediate scoring and feedback of answers for review purposes.
