Welcome to the Exam Builder

Welcome to the Scientific Notebook Exam Builder—the most powerful product available for algorithmic generation of course materials. Algorithmic generation is the automatic generation of slightly differing versions of an exam or practice set based on a single set of algorithmic instructions. In other words, instead of writing a series of exams, each containing a variation of your questions and answers, you write a single exam and state the questions and answers with algorithms. Your students can drill and practice a skill at length by opening the same Exam Builder file repeatedly, obtaining a slightly different set of questions each time. Similarly, you can test each student with a slightly different version of an exam, with each version drawn from the same Exam Builder source file.

The Scientific Notebook Exam Builder combines the efficiency of algorithmic generation with the ease of entering text and mathematics in natural notation and the power of symbolic computation. You'll find the Exam Builder invaluable, regardless of the course materials you need to create—exams, quizzes, tests, tutorials, problem sets, drills, or homework assignments—and regardless of the level of mathematics you teach—elementary arithmetic, trigonometry, algebra, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, probability, or statistics. The course materials you create with the Exam Builder can be worked and graded online or in the traditional pencil-and-paper form.

Use the Scientific Notebook Exam Builder to create course materials easily by using algorithmic generation, save time by eliminating manual grading for online material, and help your students learn by increasing their opportunities for practice and providing instant feedback.
