Publishing Tests
ExamView Test Generator lets you easily create electronic tests that can be taken over the internet with a browser or over a
local-area network (LAN) with the ExamView Test Player. To create an online test, create a test using the question selection
methods you already know how to use.
ExamView tests may be delivered by the following methods:
ExamView Test Player on LAN or the Internet
Online tests may include any or all of the question types, however, only the objective questions (e.g., Multiple Choice, Multiple
Response, True/False, Yes/No, Completion, Modified True/False, Matching, and Numeric Response) are automatically
graded. You must manually score open-ended questions (e.g., Short Answer, Essay, Case, and Other).
For internet tests, your students must use a browser such as Internet Explorer 5.0 (or a more recent version) or FireFox 1.0 that
supports cascading style sheets level 1 (CSS1) and JavaScript. To post tests or study guides for delivery via the internet, you
must have access to the internet.
Depending on availability, your textbook publisher may offer the capability to publish tests to their website.
ExamView Test Player on LAN or the Internet
The ExamView Test Player is a separate program that lets your students take a test at a computer. Depending on the selected
options, students can check their own work, receive feedback for incorrect responses and print a detailed report. A LAN-based
online test can include the following question types: Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, True/False, Completion (Fill-in-the-
Blank), Yes/No, Numeric Response, Essay and Matching. You can also include multimedia clips linked to specific questions
(e.g., movies, animations, or audio).
IMPORTANT
Your students must use the latest version or the ExamView Test Player to view online tests
created with this version of the ExamView Test Generator.
If you have access to a local area network, it is recommended that you store the online tests on the server. You can install the
ExamView Test Player on the server or each individual workstation. If you decide to install the program on individual
workstations, run the ExamView Test Player setup at each computer. The setup program should be provided on a separate
disk. If you received a CD-ROM, a separate setup program for the player should be located in a sub folder within the
ExamView folder.
NOTE
(PC Only)
To specify the default path where the program looks for tests, set the start-up command as
follows—evplay.exe /testpath=path.
To turn off the option for students to browse network drives, include /nobrowse in the start-up
command.
