Item Banking & Blueprinting
Prolydian is a proven enterprise solution for maintaining one or many item banks that allows for authoring, importing, exporting, blueprinting, tagging, randomization, friends and enemies, references, version control, access control -- and much, much more. The exam delivery (driver) system is part of the overall architecture, allowing for a direct linkage between the item bank, exam, and the exam version presented to the candidate. Having the item bank integrated with the exam delivery engine obviates the need for a separate test publishing step. Test publishing happens in accordance with your own user-defined workflow and can be completed by the end-user within a matter of minutes (not weeks). Exam delivery driver consists of the desired features for practice tests including the ability to switch between Exam mode and Practice mode, as well as the ability to define the way feedback is presented to candidates. Prolydian’s exam delivery driver supports question level rationale, correct answer-only rationale, selected answer-only rationale, option-only rationale, and all rationale.
