DESCRIPTION
Quiz Press makes it painless to create tests and quizzes, and distribute them in print, over the web, for the iPod, or to other testing systems. Quizzes can include six different question types (Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blanks, Short Answer, True or False, Essay, and Cloze*), and also allows for fully customizable titles. Web quizzes are delivered in Flash, so they are fun to use and cross-platform. They can be easily published as stand-alone pages or embedded within other web content, and on any website, including .Mac. The quizzes can also be printed for conventional testing.

Quiz Press was designed to be easy to use from the ground up. For example, to add a fill in the blank question simply type a sentence or paragraph, click the word(s) you want to make blank and press a button. Don't want to use the mouse? No problem, we've designed Quiz Press so that you can do all of the steps needed to create a test with your hands firmly planted on the keyboard. Experiment to your heart's content; you can't make a mistake, with our unlimited Undo and Redo system, we've got you covered.

Making a web based quiz is as easy as pressing a button. Quiz Press automatically commands your web browser to let you experiment with your quiz. When you are ready to publish to the web it's just as easy. Just pick a name and place to save on your hard drive and then drag your quiz to your FTP site or .Mac iDisk.

*A cloze is a "fill-in-the-blanks" activity where the learner uses a word bank to complete the sentence or paragraph.

    SATYRICA  I *want* to use this in my classroom, but the limited print-ability makes this almost worthless.

    A 60 question test takes 8 pages to print, cannot configure multiple (2) columns per page? why? The first question is printed in the far upper left of the page, and when stapled, obscures it entirely.

    I can't believe this was developed or tested by a teacher as the functions that we need are NOT present...  (Version 2.1.3)

    PHALERON  This application has a long way to go before it is worth $50. Let's start with that "Multiple Choice" usually means a "multiple" choice selection, i.e. several boxes being checked simultaneously. Of course, the actual multiple choice feature is missing which is, really, the most basic of all question formats.

    Moreover, how about clustering questions on one page (which, of course, requires the ability to create pages in the first place), and skip logic branching, etc.

    It is a fair start, but far from being a real quiz tool at this time.  (Version 2.1)

    OSCARG  I love this software. It's very easy to create quizzes and distribute them as needed, or even provide links on our home page. The company worked with us when we found bugs in the beta version. Quizzes now load efficiently on all the machines we've tried, even really old ones.   (Version 2.0.8)
