NOTE
Use the pipe ( | ) character to enter more than one data element in a given field such as a state
standard e.g., MA3-1.2 | MA4-1.
You can enter question metadata directly into the appropriate information field or add it using a list. To view the list, place the
cursor in the information field of interest and then click
. The default pick list is composed of question information already
present in other questions in the currently open bank or test.
You can change the pick list so that the default list is merged with contents from an external list source. List files must conform
to a specific formatting convention and be stored in the Extras folder of the ExamView directory.
NOTE
You can save common metadata information in a list file and then share or distribute the file to
standardize the entries by multiple authors.
To change the pick list source (PC Only)
1 Click to reveal a menu with available lists.
2 Select a list file name or Restore Default.
The name of the List Source is displayed above the list. This source displays either Default or the name of the list file.
The default list contains only unique entries already recorded for questions in the active file.
Selecting an external list file merges the entries of that file with the default list, it does not replace it. Entries for the
external list file and the default list are combined and sorted together alphabetically.
Only one file will be added to the default list at a time.
If the external list file does not contain any entries for a particular category, the list will not appear to have changed.
However, other categories that are contained in the external file will be updated.
Student Feedback
If you use ExamView Assessment Suite to deliver online
tests, you can include a rationale and student feedback for
each objective-based question (e.g., multiple choice). As a
result, you can set up your online tests to display feedback
for incorrect responses.
NOTE
For paper and online tests, you can print a
report with the rationale for each item a
student answers incorrectly.
Narratives
A narrative is a table, a descriptive passage, a special
instruction, a picture, or other information that you can
attach to (or link to) one or more questions. All questions
linked to the same narrative print together as a group on a
test. Possible uses for a narrative include a reading
passage, map, chart, or photo.
