True Score 2 answers practical questions from test scores for managing your course, teaching, and students. It indicates levels of thinking and promotes active learning. A test performance profile graphs the portion of the test that was mastered, unfinished, and discriminating by percent right, question number, and test topic or part. At-risk students are flagged by level of thinking and test topic or part. Multiple version tests are combined into one analysis to save additional time if they are created with True Test Writer. Requires the runtime file msvbvm50.dll. If not in your computer, download from www.simtel.com | VB Runtimes | Msvbvm50.exe. This self-extracting .exe file will install the .dll file. True Score 2 scores multiple-choice tests both traditionally and alternatively. Students can choose either method or both. It is an easy way for students to change from being passive pupils (lower level of thinking) to being self-correcting, active learners (higher levels of thinking). Alternative scoring requires students to prepare for the test in the same manner as for an essay test. They must select questions, that in their judgment, they can answer correctly rather than work the test for answers and guess. You can use the same questions for both methods of scoring.
