You can load either ZIP/JSON file of Test Maker or JSON file of CBT Interface/Results
This page/tool is used to generate the answer key of the test for results to be evaluated.
Purpose:
- This tool is designed to generate answer key data for your test.
- It allows you to load test data from the database or upload a ZIP/JSON file from the Test Maker or CBT Interface.
- The generated answer key is used to evaluate your test results.
Input File:
- If test data without an answer key is found in the database, you'll automatically be shown those tests.
You can either select one to generate the answer key for, or upload a ZIP/JSON file which you got from the Test Maker.
Output:
- The tool generates or includes answer key data in a JSON or ZIP file.
- If you're using a ZIP file from Test Maker as input, you can choose from the following output formats:
- ZIP file: A ZIP file with the answer key data included.
It contains everything from the original input ZIP, so you can safely delete the uploaded file as this replaces it.
Usable on the Test Interface and Test Results pages. - JSON file: A JSON file with the answer key data included.
Usable only on the Test Results page and Test Interface (need to upload PDF along with it).
- ZIP file: A ZIP file with the answer key data included.
