How CBTS Works?
CBTS, is a platform and language independent user-friendly software to create, manage and perform online tests.
You can access the different sections of the system:
• Users
This sections contains the forms for insert and manage users, to select them and to show the list of the ones currently online.
Only the registered users granted a username and a password are entitled to access the public area of the system and perform the tests.
It is possible to specify different access levels for both the users and the different components and parts of the system (pages, forms, sections).
CBTS also uses another security system to prevent unauthorized access based on checking the IP addresses.
• Subject
This section contains the forms to insert and modify test Subjects, Chapters, the related questions and answers.
You can select an unlimited number of Chapters that can be used together for a specific test, and for each Chapter you can define an unlimited number of questions and possible answers. Depending on the settings of the Random question and Random answer tick boxes, the system can randomly select questions and answers among the available ones.
CBTS supports both multiple-answer questions and free-answer questions. The latter will be evaluated through a specific evaluation form , while the former will be automatically evaluated.
All the descriptions of tests, Chapters, questions and answers support a particular proprietary code (tcecode) that, by using a specific form, allows the use of images and text formatting.
• Test
This section includes a form to insert, generate and modify the different tests, a form to evaluate the free answers and forms to show or generate PDF versions of the results, a detailed view of the users’ tests and the statistics of questions and answers used.
CBTS can be instructed to select, on a random basis, the various questions and related available answers, so that all tests for the different users will be different from each other.
It is also possible to generate an arbitrary number of tests in PDF format so that they can be printed and used for a conventional exam.
