On the second page, we find the Answer Section, i.e. the test key.(Scroll down using your mouse scroll button or by pressing [Page Down].)

Step 4: Change the test layout.

Suppose we want to leave room between the questions for the student’s work.

Select the Test menu, then Layout.

three blanklines.

There are now three blank lines between each question.

Step 5: Save your test (this action is analogous to that of Part C, Step 6).

Save your test file, by pressing [Ctrl]+[S] or select the File menu, then Save.

A Save dialog box will open with the following at the bottom:

Do not click anywhere! Just start typing the File name: Quiz on Percentages

The File name should appear where “untitled.tst” was (seebelow).

Click on Save (or hit [Enter]).The File name should now appear in the title bar (see below).

G. Printing multiple test versions

Notice that in the top right hand corner of the test there are the symbols ID: A

This indicates the version of the test. The same code appears on the Answer Section page.

Suppose that we need one or several versions (variations) of this test for our class. WithExamViewPro we can print up to 26 variations each with different questions (according toour uniqueness conditions) and each variation will be identified both on the Test and on theAnswer Section with its own letter ID: A-Z.

The Print Test dialog box will open.

Your Test Variations dialog box should look like this when you click on OK:

Your printer will print 4 pages, namely:

1. Test with ID:A

2. Answer Section for Test with ID:A

3. Test with ID:B

The questions will all have different values for our variables p, a and b. Again, this is thebeauty and power of ExamViewPro.

What should I do if I did not type one of the file names correctly?

Read on to see what to do…

What should I do if I need to stop working before reaching the end of the chapter?

Exiting before completing part C:

We recommend that you finish parts A-C before stopping. If you cannot, we recommend thatyou exit ExamViewPro without saving and start again from the beginning. To do this:

1. If you are in the Question Bank Editor, i.e. before Part B, Step 3.

Click on No.

Click on Cancel.

Click here.

Click here.

Continue with 3 above…

Exiting after completing part C

At the end of each of parts C, D, E, F and G you will be saving your work. This means thatyou can stop at the end of any of these parts without losing any of your work, and then startagain by opening your file.

If you are at the end of a part, then you have just saved your work.


The program should just close (no dialog boxes should open).

When you are ready to start again, go to Opening your Question bank/Test below.

If you are in the middle of a part and have to quit, follow the directions given above to exitwithout saving. You will lose the work from that part.

When you are ready to start again, go to Opening your Question bank/Test below.

Opening your Question bank/Test

Click on the appropriate circle (see below). Then, click on OK.

Click here if you finishedPart E!

Continue with part F.

Click here if you finishedPart F!

An Open Tests dialog boxwill appear.

An Open Banks dialogbox will open.

What should I do if I did not type one of the titles correctly?

Double-click on the title.

The Title dialog box will open and you can make corrections.

(Note that if you start typing immediately, the current title will be erased!To edit, first click where you want to make a change.)

Then, clickon Open.

Click here.

Then, clickon Open.

Click here.Then, makecorrections.

Then, clickon OK.


28

What should I do if I did not type one of the file names correctly?

Unless this really bothers you and you are familiar with file manipulation using the Windows

program My Computer or Windows Explorer, we recommend that you do nothing!

1. You can save your file under a different file name.

However, if you do this, you must delete the old file from within Windows.

This is because ExamViewPro works with bank and test names–not file names. So if youdo not delete the old file, ExamViewPro will list two banks (or two tests) with the samename and you will not be able to tell them apart! To save under a different file name:

Select the File menu, then Save As.

The Save As dialog box will open as in Part C, Step 6.

Type the correct name for your file, then click on Save.

You can now delete your old file from within Windows.

or

2. If ExamView is not open, you can rename your file from within Windowsusing theprogram My Computer. To do this your file must be closed. So, you must first exitExamViewPro (see Part H above).

By default, EVP banks are in the folder:

C:\Program Files\ExamView\Banks

and EVP tests are in the folder:

C:\Program Files\ExamView\Tests.

Our next goal will be to build multiple choice dynamic questions.These can be used in many different applications and significantly increase youreducational possibilities –with very little extra effort.
