With Test Pilot, you can build banks of questions that may be used in the delivery of multiple tests or surveys. Assessments can be made up of manual or random selections of questions in your question bank. Your question bank may be subdivided into any number of groups for any possible use - you may want to segregate questions by subject area or semester week. With Test Pilot, you can do all of that and more.
