A network-based testing system that lets instructors administer tests created with TestGen, store the results, and view or print a variety of student, class, and course reports.

QuizMaster is a complete testing system that allows instructors to administer tests over a local-area computer network with ease. Using TestGen, instructors create a test and select the time period it will be available. Then they use QuizMaster to distribute the test, score it, and record the results. Students sign onto QuizMaster to take either practice or graded tests at the computer, where the results are saved for the instructor. Using the full-featured QuizMaster administrative utility built into TestGen, instructors can print a wide variety of reports for individual students, class sections, and courses, as well as set test options and preferences.
