ExamView Assessment Suite 35
Online Tests on Your Local Area Network
The ExamView Assessment Suite includes all of the tools you need to create and administer online tests on your local area
network (LAN). Use the online testing features to save time grading tests and generate the information to improve student
performance.
You can create online tests that anyone can take using your local area network (LAN), or you can assign a roster to an online
test.
EXAMPLE
You can use ExamView Test Generator to create self-grading practice tests (or study guides) that
provide feedback for incorrect responses. You can also use this testing option to administer
chapter tests, quizzes, benchmark tests, homework, and worksheets. Then, use ExamView Test
Manager to get results from an online test and produce reports.
Preparing for Online Testing
Prerequisites
Before students can take tests using your local area network (LAN), you must prepare for online testing.
1 Talk to your network administrator to secure space on your local area network to put the online tests.
You and your students both need read/write (full) access to the network folder.
2 Ask your network administrator to install ExamView Test Player on your network and to place a shortcut on each
workstation to access the program. Or, you can install the player program on each computer.
(PC only) Advanced: As a best practice, you can create a shortcut for the program and set the target properties to
include the following options. For example, set the target to c:\examview\evpro.exe /nobrowse.
/nobrowse turns off the option for students to change the path (or location) of the tests.
/noprefs directs the program not to write the preferences to the local computer.
/testpath= allows you to set the default path for the tests.
3 Start ExamView Test Generator, click Edit from the menu bar and select Preferences and click the Files toolbar
button. Set the default online (LAN) path to the location on the network.
Creating an Online (LAN) Test without a Roster
You can publish an online test with or without a roster for your students to take on your local area network (LAN). If you publish
a test without a roster, the program automatically scores the test. Anyone may take the test; however, the results are only
available immediately after a student completes a test.
IMPORTANT
No results are stored in ExamView Test Manager, and you will not be able to prepare any
student/class reports.
