General Issues: How do I get the latest version of ExamView Pro? How do I activate the
password? I password protected ExamView,
but I cannot remember my password. Is there a way around this? How do I adjust the types of information printed in the
answer key? How do I prevent the answer key from printing when I
print a test? How do I permanently add a
question to my test bank? How can I merge several
tests into one test? How do I insert
graphics into a question? Can you insert a GIF image
(picture) into a question? I tried selecting the MathArt question bank, but it is empty. Can I link several
questions to a single graphic or table? How do I change the fonts
on my test? I want my multiple-choice
answers to be in one column. Can I do that without editing each question? When I scramble my multiple
choice answers they are not in order. How do I use the
Calculate Values function? Can a test be formatted to
look like a state or national test? How do I add questions to a
test based on my state standards? How do I create a
Spanish version of a test? After I translate my
test into Spanish, the instructions are still in English. My ExamView Pro CD says that I can create a test in
Spanish, but it doesn't allow me to create one. What do the difficulty levels A and B (or A, C, and E) stand
for in ExamView? In the spell checker,
can you edit or delete words added to the custom dictionary? How do I create an Online Test? How do I import a class
roster for a LAN-based test? Only one student can
access a LAN-based test at a time. How does a student type accent
marks for LAN-based foreign language tests? How can I obtain a certificate for one
year of free web hosting for internet tests? Technology in Action:
I need a password for the Teacher Disk. Impact Mathematics
(Course 2): The Spanish question banks
are missing. Windows Issues: Will this program run on
Windows NT, ME, 2000, and XP? ExamView keeps locking up and
MSGSRF32 shows as not responding in Task Manager. Are the testbanks offered in WebCT format, or would they need to be converted? Is there a tool available
to import questions into ExamView from other sources? Can I import a test
created in Word? When creating a test, I go
to EDITàREPLACE
FONT, but the REPLACE WITH drop-down is empty. When
printing from ExamView 2.0 on Windows 2000, the print is extremely small. Macintosh: Will ExamView Pro run on Mac OS X? Error
Type 1 when launching ExamView Pro 3.6 on Mac OS 7.6. When I try to print on my
Macintosh, an error appears stating: “Not enough memory to print”. Why don’t tests with mathematical equations
print properly? In a question with a repeating decimal, the bar
does not display over the number that repeats. Glencoe Science 15 Book Series (2005, dated 8/04):
The question banks appear to be missing. |

Examview Player: If you have access to a local area
network, it is recommended that you store the online tests on the
server. You can install the player on
the server or install it on each individual workstation. As your students take a test, the player
will automatically store their results in the test file itself. Then, you can simply open the test file to
view the results for all of your students.
Note: Students must have read/write
access to the network folder that contains the test. If you decide to install the program on
individual workstations, run the ExamView Player setup at each computer. A separate setup program for the player
should be located in the EV Player subfolder on the CD-ROM. Notes:

Solution: If multiple generators were
installed a warning window will appear in front of the “Step 2 Window”. This
will alert you that multiple question bank folders were installed. To select
the bank you want other than the one shown, you must:
Note: For Macintosh users, if you do
not see the list of chapters, follow the steps above but click Choose
instead of Open in step 4. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Issue: I installed my test generator
and tried to switch banks, but my current bank doesn’t have any questions in
it. |
||||
|
|
||||

uses ExamView Pro; the program’s banks are not recognized by the older ExamView
program. However, if you launch ExamView Pro, by clicking Start/Programs/
ExamView Pro. You will be able to see and use the banks from ExamView
and ExamView Pro. |

|
Issue: How do I
adjust the types of information printed in the answer key? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Solution: To adjust the types of information printed in the answer
key: 1. Go to the Edit menu. 2. Choose Preferences. 3. Choose the Layout tab. 4. In the “Show On
Answer Key” section, uncheck the items to be omitted from the answer key. 5. Click OK to save changes. Note: As

|
|
||||
|
Issue: The numbers in the steps
that show how to work a problem on the answer key don’t always match the
question. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Solution: The answer key now includes the
steps to solve the question. When the question is static, the key will
use the numbers in the question (short answer, essay), if the question is
generated using an algorithm, then a sample is provided because the numbers
change with every iteration of the algorithm
(multiple choice). To disable this option: 1. Go to the Edit menu. 2. Choose Preferences. 3. Choose the Layout tab. 4. In the “Show On
Answer Key” section, uncheck the Notes and Rationale options. 5. Click OK to save changes. |

|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Solution: In order to merge tests, the
existing saved tests must be converted into question banks. Once each test
has been converted to a question bank, a new test can be created from these
new question banks. To convert each test file to a question bank file, follow
the steps appropriate for your operating system: Windows: 1. Open an existing test in ExamView
Pro. 2. Choose Export from the File menu. 3. Change the “Save as type"
setting to "ExamView Question Bank (.bnk)" 4. Select the appropriate folder
where you want the new file to be saved, and make a note of the folder
location. Note: Creating the combined test will
be easier if you place all of your question bank files in the same folder. 5. Type a filename and click
"Save." 6. Repeat 1-5 for each additional
test. Macintosh: 1. Open an existing test in ExamView
Pro. 2. Highlight "Export" from
the File menu. 3. Choose “As Question Bank” from the
Export submenu. 4. Select the appropriate folder
where you want the new file to be saved, and make a note of the folder
location so you can find the files later. Note: Creating the combined test will
be easier if you place all of your question bank files in the same folder. 5. Type a filename and click
"Export." 6. Repeat 1-7 for each additional
test. |

|
|
||||
|
Issue: Can you insert a GIF image (picture) into a
question? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Solution: No. The .gif format is not supported due to patent restrictions. You can,
however, open this format on the Macintosh if you have the EasyOpen
utility that is built into OS 8.5. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Issue: I tried selecting the MathArt
question bank, but it is empty. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Solution: The MathArt
folder is not a question bank. It
contains image files that can be used when creating tests. To add one of these graphics to a test,
follow the instructions for inserting graphics, and browse to the MathArt folder for the appropriate book. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Issue: Can I link several questions
to a single graphic or table? |
||||
|
|

Solution: Yes. To do it:

|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Issue: How do I change the fonts on
my test? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Solution:
There are five options you can select for your “font” change. You can
select test title, section title, question numbers, answer choices or a new
question.
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
Issue: When I reduce the number of answer choice
in a matching question, the remaining answers do not match the questions. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
Solution: Typically, matching items are in
groups of 10 question/answers. If the
answer choices are simply reduced, the program will remove the specified
number of answers from the group of 10, leaving the associated questions
unchanged. Please try the following to
reduce the number of matching answers so that the questions and remaining
answers still match: 1. From the grouping of 10
questions/answers, highlight and delete the questions you wish to remove from
the test. 2. Double-click on the group of
associated answers. The original group
of answers will appear on the top half of the Edit window, and the remaining
associated questions will appear on the bottom half of the Edit window. 3. From the Choices menu, choose a
“number” (for example, a-e) that represents the number of remaining
questions. The answers that will
remain will not necessarily match the remaining questions. 4. In the answer table on the top half of the Edit window, adjust the answer choices to match | ||||
