- Subject: Test scoring in SAS
- Lines: 18
-
- I am in charge of writing and maintaining Test Scoring programs that
- compute each student's grade and also display the stats for each
- individual and the class as a whole.
-
- Most of the programs were written 10-12 years ago in SAS. Almost
- all of the stats like STD, Frequencies etc. were calculated by
- the programmer and printed out in a set format chosen by the
- manager of the user services dept.
-
- Instructors are constantly asking for changes in the output format
- of the stats report or asking for exceptions to the type of
- input being used (like more than one possible correct answer, different
- sort parameters etc.) So I have to change the programs. What
- I would like to know is, are there any SAS procedures that can
- have a answer key input and then use that to tabulate the correct
- answers and then along with whatever stats procedures are chosen
- print out a report, that is a lot easier to debug than one in
- which every part of the program is written by hand?
