Create Online Exams Using Configurable Test Types For Your Advanced Assessments
Gauge has three test types that make it easy to get started creating an online exam. For advanced security or high-stakes exams, we recommend tests with question banks or tests with sections.
Basic Exams
Basic Exams are the simplest way to get started creating an online exam. Add questions and answers one at a time using our test builder or upload them in bulk and use our question configuration settings to customize tests to your needs.
Basic Exams are great for simple testing needs like continuing education units ( CEUs or CECs) product training, practice tests, and in-house professional development programs.
Exams With Question Banks
Exams With Question Banks – sometimes called item banks – are the easiest way to deliver high-quality, secure tests at any scale. Create and reuse as many question banks as you like across all of your organization’s exams.
Question banks can be configured independently or at the test level giving you the flexibility to build the tests you need.
Exams with Question Banks are our most popular type of exams because they are easy to create and manage, help maintain test integrity, prevent cheating, and save time and effort.
Exams With Sections
For advanced assessment needs, we created Exams With Sections. Exams With Sections utilize reusable question banks but are broken up into individual sections, often by subject matter, and taken in sequence.
Tests With Sections are excellent for high-stakes testing.
