Randomizable

Reuse and recycle your tests with automated randomization. With just a single click you can randomize the choice elements in any multi-choice type question (multiple-choice, checklist, matching, etc.). And with the Pro edition you can randomize the questions (all, selected, or groups) so that they are in a different order. Same set of questions - different test.

Answer sheets

Automatically create an answer sheet for students to record their answers on and save the actual test document for future use. Saves paper and photocopier costs. The answer sheet also makes for easy marking. In fact, place an answer sheet on top of the answer key on a lighted surface (such as an overhead projector) and score an entire test in seconds.

Fourteen question types

Using a variety of question types in your tests and quizzes will make the evaluation more interesting and challenging for your students. It will also make it easier to assess learning for material that does not conform to the standard multiple-choice question type.

The question types

Multiple choice

Design questions with up to 26 choices. Each choice can include a picture, can be deactivated when not required for a particular test, and can be locked against any randomization. Choices can be added or removed by simply pressing the plus or minus buttons. Randomizing the choices is simply a matter of pressing the randomize button. The question can be structured in up to six columns and ordered by column or row.

Multiple Choice

Fill-in-the-blanks

Type or paste in a block of text and then double-click any word to remove it, add it to the list of removed words, and number the blank. Or, if you want to remove a phrase or part of a word, just highlight it and press the Select button. What could be easier? Lots of options are available for customizing the numbering of the blanks including style (lowercase, uppercase, numeric) and decoration (parentheses, hyphens, brackets, or none).

Fill-in-the-Blanks

Table

Create flexible Table questions with answers set by column, row, or cells. Enter your table data and then click the check mark on each cell that you want to make an answer. Or use the column/row editor to make all the cells answers in an entire row or column. Column and row dimensions can be set in the column/row editor, by dragging column and row lines with your mouse, or by using the handy auto-size functions.

Table

Checklist

Deploy a question that requires the selection of a correct set of items from a list of correct and incorrect items. Enter your list of items and simply check the correct items. As with all list type questions, items can be added or removed by pressing the plus or minus buttons. The list can be randomized and a picture can be added.

Checklist

List

When you want students to provide a list of names, places, events, or other data, the List is your go to question type. Lists in Schoolhouse Test can have up to 26 items, accompanied by a picture, organized in up to six columns, and ordered by row or by column.

List

List with prompts

The List With Prompts question type takes the list type question to the next level. The addition of prompts makes for a very flexible assessment element for any test. Select to display the prompts before or after the answers. Options also include layout in up to four columns, and ordering by column or by row.

Additionally, a picture can be added for each item.

Order

Matching

Items can be laid out in up to four columns and organized by column or by row.
