1) Sharing question banks with other teachers - The ExamView Forum now includes a separate forum area for exchanging question banks with instructors around the world. Click here (http://forum.fscreations.com/) to visit the forum. Or, go to the ExamView website and click the Support Forum link. Choose the Question Bank Exchange option from the Forum pop-up menu to download and upload question banks. (Note: Be sure to post only non-copyrighted questions.)

2) Creating tests for special needs students - Many states have very specific guidelines for creating tests tailored to special needs students. In some situations, you may need to create the same test for all students, but format multiple choice questions with only two answer choices for special needs students. ExamView 3.6 (or a more recent version) helps you create both tests in minutes.

  • Create your test, save it, and print it.
  • While viewing the test press Ctrl+M (Windows) or Cmd+M (Macintosh).
  • Click the Reduce choices for multiple choice questions option and set the value to 2.
  • Click OK.
  • The program automatically reduces the number of choices for all multiple choice questions. If an answer was in Choice C or D, the program shuffles the correct answer and moves it to Choice A or B.

    3) Using the SmartPaste command to copy questions from a word processor document - Copying and pasting-multiple choice questions from a word processor into ExamView can be a bit tedious unless you use the SmartPaste feature. Instead of copying and pasting each part of the question, you can copy an entire multiple choice question and paste it quickly into a new question.

  • Copy the multiple choice question, including the answer choices, from your word processor.
  • Switch to ExamView and choose to create a new multiple choice question.
  • Press the SmartPaste command (F7 - Windows) or (Cmd+P - Macintosh).
  • The program will copy the question and put each of the choices in the appropriate table cells.
