Random Test Generator V1.1
Copyright c 1995, Timothy Hirtle
All Rights Reserved.
April 21, 1995
Object:
The object of Random Test Generator is to allow educators to create test
databanks which questions can be randomly selected. This serves two
purposes, one is that it allows an entire class to receive different
tests on the same subject, eliminating cheating and test compromise.
Second, it eliminates the instructor to select questions themselves,
assuming the test databanks are all valid.
Description:
Random Test Generator as the name implies will randomly select questions
from up to 10 test database files to create any amount of tests. At no
time will it randomly select the same question more than once on the same
test. Test databases can be created without known limitations either in
the number of questions in any single database or how many different
databanks which can be created. The program allows either printed tests
or video tests creations. An unlimited amount of printed tests can be
created either all the same or all different tests in one easy set-up.
Video tests can also be created using the randomizer, these tests can have
an optional timer set. Video tests can also be either automatically or
manually graded. If you do want to use the randomizer, you can create
your own tests from these test databanks using the Manual Select option.
Many editing features are available such as cut, copy and paste to save
time typing and Find to locate specific text. Also available is a
bookmark feature to memorize a specific question to automatically go back
to in the future. Test databanks can be created, viewed, updated, and
added to at anytime. Also available is a password protection option to
keep your files away from prying eyes.
Requirements:
- Windows 3.x
- VBRUN300.DLL installed in your Windows or System directory. This file is
required for all Visual Basic programs. If you do not already have it
installed in your Windows/System directory then you can find it on most
on-line systems offering software for downloading. Usually under the name
vbrun300.zip.
Installation:
- Run Install.exe using the RUN option from the file menu of Windows
Program Manager or double click on the Install.exe icon from the File
Manager.
- Follow the directions of the install program.
- WARNING: Do not place Random Test Generator in any root directory,
(i.e. c:\, A:\, etc...). It will probably not load correctly. It should
be placed in a subdirectory (i.e. C:\RTG, C:\windows\RTG, etc...).
Installation should have placed the following files in the identified
directories:
Sample1.dat \Program Directory
Sample2.dat \Program Directory
RTG.EXE \Program Directory
Test.Idx \Program Directory
RTG.TXT \Program directory
Sample.tst \Program Directory
3dlabel.vbx \Windows\System
Statbar.vbx \Windows\System
Vbpic3d.vbx \Windows\System
Vbpicbtn.vbx \Windows\System
Cmdialog.vbx \Windows\System
Commdlg.dll \Windows\System
Distribution:
- This version is Free to all registered users of V1.0
- Random Test Generator is distributed as Shareware. The Author maintains
all rights to the program in its entirety.
- Random Test Generator may be distributed freely as long as the
integrity of Shareware is maintained.
- In the tradition of Shareware, the author grants a 30 day trial period
to the user to decide whether they want to keep the program. If so, a
$29.95 donation is required. If not, then before the 30 days is up, you
must delete the program from your system.
Important Notice:
Because of the file structure of Random Test Generator, users should take
caution when changing and copying Random Test Generator files to a new
directory from the original installation directory. Some files are
created using the original directory. Validated users may lose their
validation information. Also, Passwords may be lost. Neither is a major
catastrophe. Validation and Auto-execution can easily be re-established in
the new directory. Validated users should write down their validation number
in case they change directories. If a new directory is desired it may be
more beneficial to re-install into the new director rather than copying
files.
Disclaimer:
Random Test Generator has no expressed or implied warranty. The user
accepts full responsibility for this program by loading it on their
computer. At no time is the author responsible for any hardware or
software malfunctions caused by Random Test Generator. Though the author
knows of no such problems from this software, he is not liable if any
should occur.
