MULTITEST II: a program for the generation, correction, and analysis of multiple choice tests

Multitest II is a program for the generation, correction, and analysis of multiple-choice examinations. The program is written in Pascal and has been implemented for the IBM-PC and compatible microcomputers, and for the VAX minicomputer. The program allows the random generation of tests from a master test, and supports several types of multiple-choice tests. The tests are graded by means of a user-definable numerical grading system. Certain statistical analyses can be performed on the tests results. A special effort was made when designing the program to make it highly error-proof. This was achieved by using menus included in the program. The prompts were designed to elicit very specific and simple answers. As a result, the program can be handled by personnel without special computer training
