Test Pilot & Math Questions
This demonstration illustrates Test Pilot's built-in mathematics question generation capabilities. With Test Pilot, it is possible to create numeric answer questions made up from random variables whose correct answer is the result of a formula applied to those variables.

Each time a participant requests an assessment made up of such questions, Test Pilot freshly generates new random values for each question. Thus, each generated quiz can be unique.

Test Pilot's mathematics handling capabilities are the result of valuable input from Purdue University's Electrical Engineering technology Department who use it extensively in their curriculum.

The following questions are the simplest demonstrations of random question generation. Two values are generated within specified limits and the answer is expressed as a simple operation involving the values. Notice:
  • the addition question generates values so that the answer never exceeds 10
  • the subtraction question generates values so that the answer is always a positive integer
  • the multiplication question generates values so that no operand is equal to one.
  • the division question generates values so that the answer is always an integer
