The list below describes the terms that will be helpful to know and understand when using MicroTest Pro.

Question Bank

A question bank refers to the set of test questions entered and saved in MicroTest Pro. A question bank can also be referred to as a database of questions created for a subject, textbook or class. MicroTest Pro uses a book/chapter format which helps organize question banks in order to make questions easy to find and easy to store.

Test

When you select questions from your question bank for a test, you are actually creating an index of chapter and question numbers. This index then collects the text from the question bank which matches each chapter/question number you have selected. The end result is a printed exam.

Chapters

Chapters are defined in MicroTest Pro as organizational divisions or sections. MicroTest Pro is designed just like a textbook - each chapter is different, containing information specific to that chapter. Chapters can be accessed through MicroTest Pro’s Table of Contents window which displays each chapter numerically and by name.

Sections

When you create a test, you may want to use sections to organize and group question types together. Sections can contain questions from any chapter within a question bank. Up to eight sections, each with its own set of instructions, can be included in a test.

Figures

MicroTest Pro defines a figure as any test item that can be linked to one or more questions. Figures can incorporate graphics and/or text within your question bank and can include illustrations, diagrams, charts, maps or tables.
