ACME - Testing


One of the features of ACME is the testing modules. You can easily make up mini quizes and even do in class tests in ACME. There are different types of test questions that can be created and even a security feature that makes them locked to students till you give out a password. It is also possible to only allow the test to be taken during a specific time and day.

Multiple Choice Questions

Multiple choice questions can be automatically marked by ACME. Creating a test only using mutiple choice questions is a great way to give small quizzes either in class or as homework. You can design mutiple choice question tests so that they can be retaken and that the questions are chosen at random from a generated list.

Short Answer Questions

Short answer questions are designed for doing fill in the blank questions. You can type in different responses so that the test will recognize the right response worded different ways. These questions will be automatically marked by ACME, but it is always good to check the answers to makes sure that points were given for a correct answer that may have been mistaken as incorrect.
