Claim 9:
10. A system for creating a secure dynamic test to measure a test taker's knowledge or cognitive function, the system comprising:
a testing server hosting a website in communication with an external wired and/or wireless communication network, the testing server in communication with a database located at a testing location or a location remote to the testing location through the wired aid/or wireless communication network; and
a computing device, in communication with the testing server through the wired and/or wireless communication network, the computing device comprising a processor coupled to memory, and a display, executing by the processor a software application that is adapted to transmit to the processor an identification of the knowledge or cognitive function to be measured and display to the test taker two or more randomly generated complete questions linked to the knowledge or cognitive function to be measured, the processor in communication through the wired and/or wireless communication network with the software application, as well as the testing server or a remote server in communication with the testing server through the wired and/or wireless communication network; and
the processer is configured to receive the identification of the knowledge or cognitive function to be measured and call up randomly from a database: (1) a first question stem stored in the database and linked to the knowledge or cognitive function, (2) a first variable stored in the database and linked to the first question stem, the variable configured to be combined with the question stem to form the randomly generated complete question, and (3) a plurality of potential responses linked to the question stem and, optionally, the variable, the plurality of potential responses also stored in the database,
the processor is further configured to: (1) combine the question stem and the variable to form the first randomly generated complete question, (2) determine a correct answer to the first randomly generated question by identifying at least one potential response that is linked to both the question stem and the variable, and (3) communicate to the software application the first randomly generated completed question and, optionally: (i) the correct answer to the first randomly generated question or (ii) at least one potential response that is not linked to the first variable;
whereby the software application is configured to: (1) display on the website the first randomly generated complete question and, optionally: (i) the correct answer to the first randomly generated completed question or (ii) the at least one potential response to the first randomly generated completed question, (2) record a first reply of the test taker, and (3) transmit the first reply of the test taker to the processor; and
whereby the processer is configured to receive the first reply of the test taker and randomly call up from the database: (1) a second question stem stored in the database and linked to the knowledge or cognitive function, (2) a second variable stored in the database and linked to the second question stem, the second variable configured to be combined with the second question stem to form a second randomly generated complete question, and (3) a plurality of potential responses linked to the second question stem and, optionally, the variable, the plurality of potential responses also stored in the database,
the processor is further configured to: (1) combine the second question stem and the second variable to form a second randomly generated complete question, (2) determine a correct answer to the second randomly generated question by identifying at least one potential response that is linked to both the second question stem and the second variable, and (3) communicate to the software application the second randomly generated completed question and, optionally: (i) the correct answer to the second randomly generated completed question or (ii) at least one potential response that is not linked to the second variable;
whereby the software application is configured to: (1) display on the website the second randomly generated complete question and, optionally: (i) the correct answer to the second randomly generated completed question or (ii) the at least one potential response to the second randomly generated completed question, and (2) record a second reply of the test taker.
