Free evaluation software for mac

ExamBrain 2.6.1 is an impressive as well as beneficial multi-featured application for writing exams and administering them on the same computer or other computers. (Exams can also be printed.)

The project started out when the publisher was teaching Advanced Placement United States History in high school. Instead of wasting a dozen days a year administering tests during class hours, the publisher wrote my tests in a predecessor of this program and administered them to students on their own time at the Mac Lab in the library. When all of my students had finished, the publisher simply went to the computers and read out the results.

Now this is much easier. ExamBrain has been completely redesigned, a multitude of features have been added, and each examinee's results, with complete exam data, can be emailed to you.

Major Features:

1. GENERAL
   • Use a Backdrop. Create a solid-color backdrop behind ExamBrain to avoid desktop distractions and provide a more pleasing exam environment. Six choices.
   • Get Help. Command-hover over any object (usually buttons) to bring up a tool tip explaining its function.
2. WRITER
   • Apply Passwords. To enhance exam security, create passwords for the exam writer and/or the examinee (person taking the exam).
   • Start with Sample Questions. Ten sample questions provide an idea of how questions can be written (and provide a sample exam you can take before you write your own).
   • Write Unlimited Questions. Write as many questions as you like (except that, if the exam is to be taken in manual order, only 200 questions can be written).
   • Use Categories. For organizational purposes, label each question as belonging to a certain category that you determine.
   • Choose Answering Sequence. Choose one of three different question-answering sequences: sequential, random, or manual.
   • Scramble Answers. Set up your exam so that each examinee will see the five available answers randomly attached to different letters (ABCDE), while the correct answer remains the same.
   • Reorder Questions. Adjust the order in which questions are presented.
   • Import Images. Enhance questions with easily imported images, which can then be resized, cropped, and moved.
   • Import Sounds. Add sounds to your questions.
   • Search Questions. (As the writer) search questions for words or strings.
   • Use Multiple Correct Answers. Write questions with a single correct answer or multiple correct answers. Label each question single or multiple, or let the examinee figure it out.
   • Exchange Decoys. Set up your exam so that, for each examinee, up to three extra incorrect answers (decoys) are randomly inserted. This increases the uniqueness of each examinee's exam-taking experience.
   • Enforce Partial Point Deductions. To discourage guessing, turn on partial point deductions for missed answers (with no deduction if the question is skipped). Each deduction is pegged to the number of possible answers.
   • Time Exams. Create timed exams, with pace-feedback so the examinee always knows if he or she is answering at an acceptable pace. There is even an (optional) time reminder on each question.
   • Offer Immediate Feedback. Allow the examinee to be informed in real time:
   • • A. if the chosen answer is correct.
     • B. what the right answer was (immediately after missing it).
     • C. with an explanation of the correct answer.
     • D. with the running % correct (changed after each question is answered).
     • You choose which of these feedbacks, if any, are available to the examinee.
   • View Statistical Evaluation. This provides two different types of statistical analysis of the performance of all examinees on a particular exam.
   • View Records. Complete records of each examinee's score, including the answer the examinee chose for each question.
   • Select Grading Method. Scores and grades, either letter or pass/fail, are calculated for you.
   • Print. Everything can be printed. You can even print the exam and administer it on paper.
   • Email Results. Have each examinee's results emailed to your home or office.
3. EXAMINEE
   • Use a Process of Elimination. Click the grey vertical bar between the letters ABCDE and the answer choices to use a "process of elimination." This dims answers already rejected and helps to narrow down the ones still being considered.
   • Select an Answer. Select an answer either by clicking on the letter, clicking on the answer, or typing the letter of the answer (then hitting the Confirm button).
   • Reconsider Answers. (If you have NOT been allowed immediate feedback), go back to troublesome questions and reconsider answers (time permitting on timed exams).
