Claim 19:
20. A method for creating a secure dynamic test to measure a test taker's knowledge or cognitive function, the method comprising:
receiving a first request for a first randomly generated complete question linked to the knowledge or cognitive function to be measured with a testing server or a remote server placed through a website accessible using a unique registered user access credential, whereby the first request is placed using a software application operating on a computer device also operating the software application, and wherein the computer device communicates through an external wired and/or wireless communication network with the testing server at a testing location or with the remote server in a location that is remote to the testing location in communication with the testing server;
upon receiving the first request for a randomly generated complete question, using a processor to randomly call up from a database in communication with the testing server: (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 first variable adapted to be combined with the first question stem to form a first randomly generated complete question, and (3) a plurality of potential responses linked to the first question stem and, optionally, the first variable, the plurality of potential responses linked to the first question stem also stored in the database;
combining the first question stem and the first variable to form the first randomly generated complete question;
determining a correct answer to the first randomly generated question by identifying at least one potential response that is linked to both the first question stem and the first variable; and
transmitting to the software application the first randomly generated complete question and, optionally: (1) the correct answer to the first randomly generated question, or (2) the at least one potential response to the first randomly generated question;
displaying 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;
requesting a second randomly generated complete question, using the processor to randomly call up from a database in communication with the testing server: (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 adapted 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 second variable, the plurality of potential responses linked to the second question stem also stored in the database;
combining the second question stem and the second variable to form the second randomly generated complete question;
determining 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
transmitting to the software application the second randomly generated complete question and, optionally: (1) the correct answer to the second randomly generated question, or (2) the at least one potential response to the second randomly generated question.
