64-bit Edition

Are you a heavy user? Installing the new 64-bit edition on a server enables Adit Testdesk to support a lot more clients compared to the 32-bit edition, bringing the number of supported clients from “a lot” to “virtually unlimited”. You’ll also need a 64-bit version of Windows running on that server.

Four Types of Tests

Adit Testdesk supports four types of tests.

• Assessment is your typical school exam. An answer can be either correct or incorrect, with advanced scoring available.
• Personality type is perfect for fuzzy and psychology tests. This type of tests allows assigning certain number of points for every variant. Use Personality tests if your test implies more than one correct answer, or each answer can be right or wrong to a degree.
• Survey is just that, a survey collecting but not grading information.

Paper-Based Tests

Did you know you can design a paper-based test on a computer? Adit Testdesk offers the ability to export and print many types of exams into a paper-based test, giving you the convenience of computer-based design with versatility of pen-and-paper exams.

Topics

Topics can be assigned to any question. Questions from certain topics can be used in custom testing. The topic can be anything such as math, linguistics, biology, or computer networking depending on the test type.

Random Ordering of Questions and Choices

Questions can be asked in a random order, and choices in multiple choice questions can be randomly re-arranged every time a student takes the test. This, in effect, prevents students from simply memorizing the number of the correct answer. All or only some of the choices can be randomly ordered.

Time limits

Custom time limit is available for each individual question, group of questions, and/or the entire test.

Question Weight

Weighing questions makes scoring easier. Each question can be assigned a number of points assigned for answering the question correctly. In psychological tests, each selection can be assigned a certain number of points. If multiple selections are possible in a given question type, the points can add up for selecting more than one choice.

Feedback and Comments

It is possible to add the ability to leave feedback to all questions. Different options are available depending on whether or not the question is answered correctly.

Test Variables

Test variables are new in Adit Testdesk 2. Variables allow for more flexible customization of tests and questions, as well as for advanced grading scenarios. Learn more about test variables

Secure Tests and Exams

Multimedia Information & Case Studies

Each question can be illustrated with a still picture, audio, or animation. Multimedia clips can be embedded or displayed in a new window.
