Test Maker for Designing the Exam Structure


An exam consists of one or more sections. Each section contains one or more pages, and each page contains content and questions. Additionally, test maker provides a common asset library can be created for the candidate to access at any time (regardless of the section or page) during the exam.

Time Limits


Testinvite's easy test maker allows you to set a time limit for the entire exam, for each section and for each page independently.

A timer icon is present for the corresponding 'settings' row of each page, section and test with a time limit

Forward-Backward Navigation Restrictions


Online test creator allows you to institute a restriction for back-forth navigation between the sections of a test. The same restriction can be instituted for navigating between pages in each section.

The navigation icon automatically added to the 'settings' row of the exam and the sections where going back and forth is allowed.

Section and Page Navigation Menu


Candidates can go through the sections and pages one by one in the order presented to them, and online test creator permits to include a navigation menu to the exam, by selecting the relevant section or page from the menu, they can jump to the sections and pages they want in the exam, return to the sections and pages they have passed, and answer any question they want.

The navigation menu shows all sections and pages in the exam. In Addition, the information on how many questions there are on the pages and how many of the questions have been answered is also summarized.

Online test creator allows you to include a navigation menu

You can open and close the sections in the navigation menu as you wish, and also hide the entire menu during the exam.

The navigation menu works hand in hand with the forward-backward restrictions set for the exam and sections. For example, if going back is forbidden in a section, it is not possible to go back to the answered pages in that section. Similarly, if skipping forward is not allowed, the candidate cannot skip beyond the next page.

In the menu on left, subsequent pages are dimmed and unselectable. If returning to a page is forbidden, the warning circled in red will be shown at the bottom of that page

Marking a Page for Review


If the page does not have a time limit and there is an opportunity to go back to the page according to the established navigation rules, you can create tests where the candidate can mark the page for review. Marked pages are also shown as marked in the navigation menu.

The icon numbered “1” is the icon on the navigation menu that indicates the page that 
                                was previously marked to return to. The box numbered with “2” shows the box to be ticked to 
                                set the current page as the “page to return to”

Determination of Success Scores to be obtained from the exam


The exam builder automatically calculates scores for the whole exam, for all sections of the exam and for all pages in the exam, and prepares reports. This way, in addition to the success of the candidate throughout the exam, the success of each section and each page is also reported.

Among the information automatically calculated separately for the exam in general, sections and pages, there is, for example, the following information:

  • Total score achieved
  • Success rate
  • Total number of questions, number of questions answered, number of questions answered correctly, number of questions answered incorrectly, number of questions with partial success, etc.
The score card in the reports shows how many correct-incorrect-blank answers in which section and page.

Tracking the success rates by associating the questions with the dimensions


Even though they are in different sections and pages of the exam, you can associate certain questions with the dimensions and have them reported together. Tracking the success obtained from a group of questions independent of the structure of the exam under a single dimension provides you with the opportunity to make many measurements from an exam.

Track the success rates

You can associate questions with dimensions from the additional score calculation section.

Dimensions can be created in a hierarchical structure. For instance:

  • 3 questions can be associated with the Fractional Expressions dimension under the Math dimension.
  • The 2 questions can be associated with the First-Degree Equation dimension under the Math dimension.

In this example, 5 questions are reported under the Mathematics dimension, only 3 questions under the Fractional Expressions dimension, and 2 questions under the First Degree Equation dimension.

Number of questions in each dimension, number of correct-incorrect-blank answers and success percentages are reported.

Creating Tendency Reports by associating questions with tendency


Often personality inventories and competency tests measure disposition, not success. In this case, it does not measure how successful a candidate is, but what he or she is more prone to. For this, online test maker provides questions associated with tendency.

Test Sections


The test can consist of many sections. Exam builder allows you to create online tests composed of as many sections as you want.

There may be different reasons for dividing the exam into sections. For instance:

  • You may want different parts of the exam to be reported separately. In this case, dividing the test into sections may be a practical solution.
  • The exam may consist of very different parts from each other. In this case, dividing the assessment into sections can be beneficial for the candidate's experience.
  • You may want to apply different time limits to different parts of the test. In this case, you can divide the exam into sections and set a time limit for each section.
  • In one part of the exam, you may want the order of the pages and questions to be automatically mixed randomly, and in another part of the assessment, you may want the order of the pages and questions to be presented in the order you specify.
  • You may want to create assessments with different configurations in different parts of them. For example, if you want to restrict back-and-forth navigation in one part of the exam and turn it off in another part, dividing the test into sections in this way can help you achieve your goal.

Sections allow you to practice different configurations in different parts of the exam. Because:

  • Each section may have its own time limit.
  • The order of the pages in each section can be shuffled automatically for each candidate
  • For each section; back-and-forth navigation restrictions can be set within the pages in the section.
Icons indicating that there is a time limit in the section, page order is shuffled within the section, and navigating back-and-forth is allowed within the section

Create assessments consisting of as many sections as you need

Presenting the Exam by Opening the Practice Mode


Test creator allows you to present exams in 2 ways.

  • When the exam is presented normally, the goal is to measure the candidate's competencies. Therefore, no feedback is given regarding the correct or incorrect answers given by the candidate during the assessment.
  • When the test is presented in practice mode, the goal is for the candidate to learn from their mistakes. Therefore, during the exam, after the candidate answers the questions on a page, he receives feedback on which answers are correct and which are incorrect, and answer explanations are displayed for questions that are not answered correctly.
An exam can be previewed in Practice Mode by clicking on the option in the red circle.
