GENERATING, ASSIGNING, AND EVALUATING DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF A TEST

摘要

Method(s), stored instruction(s), and computing device(s) are provided for automatically generating different subsets of questions and/or automatically assigning the different subsets of questions to different test participants. The computing device(s) store information that includes test questions, test version generation criteria, and test version assignment criteria. The computing device(s) automatically determine, using the test version generation criteria, subsets of test questions that differ from each other by at least one question. The computing device(s) automatically assign, using the test version assignment criteria, subsets of test questions, which differ from each other by at least one question, to different test participants. The computing device(s) then cause administration of at least one of the different versions to at least one of the different test participants.

1. A method comprising:
storing information comprising:
a plurality of test questions, each test question of the plurality of test questions testing one or more topics,one or more test version generation criteria; anddata that establishes an interchangeable question set that includes at least two interchangeable questions; automatically determining, based at least in part on the one or more test version generation criteria and the interchangeable question set, different subsets of the plurality of questions; wherein the different subsets include a first subset and a second subset; wherein the first subset includes at least one question that differs from any question in the second subset; causing administration of a first version of a test on the one or more topics to a first test participant of a plurality of test participants, the first version including the first subset but not said at least one question from the second subset; wherein a second version of the test on the one or more topics is caused to be administered to a second test participant of the plurality of test participants, the second version including the second subset but not said at least one question from the first subset; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
