Based on the PRINT & SCAN OMR concept the MultiTest Examination system allows users to create and set tests, coursework or examinations. Supplied either as a stand alone system or with an optional QUESTIONBANK module both the OMR and web based systems support multiple question types including Extended Matching, True/False, Yes/No, MCQ’s (multiple choice questions), Multiple Correct Answers (allowing respondees to mark multiple boxes) etc.
On OMR paper based systems, lecturers can mark the  correct answers on a pre-defined form with up to sixty questions allowed or simply select questions from the QUESTIONBANK which then automatically generates the correct answers for comparison with the student responses. Screen based form checking, whilst scanning using an OMR, is included as well as full reporting functions. These include student feedback, batching options, question reliability, discrimination and additional graphical display options are available through the REPORT WIZARD which allows reports to be defined to suit individual requirements as well as the ability to exclude questions from the results. Web based testing can also be undertaken using forms generated by the system.
The optional QUESTIONBANK module allows users to generate  questions from a previously created common question pool. It contains a multi-tiered bank option which permits users to have as many sub headings to a main subject title as required. A common question pool can be created as well as password protected subsections for individual administrators or lecturers with speciality options. Question history including reliability, last use, number of times used is incorporated as well as the ability to generate questions randomly from selected sections plus the ability not to repeat the same questions immediately on future selections. Weightings by question and response is available plus the ability to set the correct answer to questions
Remote access to the QUESTIONBANK is available whereby administrators/lecturers can select
questions from the bank as well as creating new ones. These are then returned to the system
administrator electronically who can then generate the forms with the appropriate title headers/
gradings for each question if necessary. Import/export facilities, to and from the system, utilise the IMS standard format, running XML, thus allowing transfers to other systems if required.
