The Test Builder option can be set to identify exactly how many questions to select from each TestBank to create a single test. Random Test Generator-PRO will then randomly select test items within each TestBank requested without selecting the exact same question twice. These tests may be administered on the computer with an optional timer, printed on paper or administered via the Internet. Since each test is unique, custom answer keys may be printed for every student test developed. Printed tests and their associated answer keys are provided with the same ID number so they can easily be matched up. Tests administered on computer may be automatically graded in seconds. Tests administered via the Internet allows students to easily submit their answers via e-mail for grading with a single-click. In addition to "Standard" tests where students do not receive test results (feedback) until provided for by the instructor, you may also create tests as "Practice" Tests. Tests created in this mode will allow students to immediately receive feedback after they have completed their tests and even receive full answer explanations. Both "Standard" and "Practice" test formats may be created in screen, paper and/or Internet (Web/HTML) modes.
You may add images, animations, movies, sound/music and/or any other files in which your computer supports to any test item. These media files may be embedded directly into your TestBanks or linked to files on your computer. TestBanks and completed tests are maintained in Microsoft Access® Database (MDB) files for reliability and security. Best of all, MS-Access® itself is not required to use with this product, all the functionality is built into Random Test Generator-PRO. A Test Item Analysis feature has been added which will keep track of all your test items as to how students are performing against them to help you decide the validity of each of your test items.
Your TestBanks, students tests, Test Item Analysis Reports and a variety of other reports may be saved to Rich Text Formatted (.RTF) and/or Text (.TXT) files. RTF files may be directly used with most word processing software such as MS-Word. This format retains the exact same font attributes used in your word processor and Random Test Generator-PRO. Therefore, you can edit these files between these applications without losing any formatting.

| Random Test Generator-PRO Uses |
| * | Provide your entire class tests on the same subject without any two students having the exact same test. In this situation each test would have many different randomly selected test items although based on the same topics (TestBanks). This method makes it near impossible for students to cheat off each other. |
| * | Provide your class the exact same test questions but the question order being different from test to test. In this situation every student will be provided the exact same test items, but the order in which they are presented these test items will be different for every test. For example, question #5 for one student will be different compared to the same question #5 for another student. This method ensures your tests are identical (same test items) but makes it very difficult for student to cheat off of each other. |
| * | Provide a single test for the entire class whereby each student has the exact same test and the question order is the same but by using this software to create the test, the test items will be selected randomly ensuring that your tests are not compromised beforehand. |
| * | Random Test Generator-PRO is an ideal prep (preparation) tool to be used by those learning/studying any discipline since it stores an unlimited amount of test items. Therefore, it can be used for any single or group of subjects. Test items are randomly selected and thus may be randomly presented much like flash/index cards are often used when preparing for an examination. |
| * | Distance Education - Automatically creates Internet tests from TestBanks of test items. Simply upload your RTG-PRO created web student tests to your web server and allow anyone to take them from anywhere in the world. They only need a web browser and an Internet connection. |
| * | Student Remediation - Tests administered in "Practice" test mode allow students to review and see detailed answer explanations once their tests are complete in any test format (screen, paper and Internet). |
| * | Test Item Analysis - This feature will assist you in analyzing the validity of your test items. |
All these uses for this software allow you to create student tests at anytime (on the fly) since all your possible test items already reside in your TestBanks. It's just a matter of using the "Test Builder" within RTG-PRO each time you need to create new student tests. Simply select the TestBanks you wish to use, and identify how many test items from each TestBank should be randomly selected. Your new tests will then be created in mere seconds. It's that simple. What could be easier? You no longer need to sit down and create student tests manually. This software allows you to get away from using the same student tests class after class which leaves them open to be compromised much more easily. Random testing is the most secure and versatile testing method available. This software is a powerful tool for any public, private, government or business institution in which testing is conducted regardless of the subject matter. Random Test Generator-PRO is a cheaters' worst nightmare and a must for educators at any level. This version is specifically designed for 32-bit Windows operating systems such as Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/NT2000/XP/2003/Vista. |
