Imagine banks of past exam questions that let you assemble a paper based test. But this is just touching the surface of what is possible when you put things on a computer. If you haven't covered every topics in time for the mock, it's no matter to remove them and have Exampro recalculate the marks. If you want a test that lasts 30 minutes, the package tells you how long each is allowed for each question. And if you want to produce revision material because the class needs to brush up on photosynthesis, or punctuation you can produce custom material quite quickly.
Some schools even let their keen pupils make their own papers.
Teachers who want to edit the questions or indeed recycle countless graphics in the package will find themselves with a rich cache of material. Unless your syllabus is particularly special, such as Salter's Science, the 1000 questions in the double award GCSE title ought to work well enough with most exam boards. More recently version have arrived for each of the QCA key stages - starting with the tests for age seven and leading to a key stage 4 science title due in the autumn. Teachers will find here some intriguing benefits - for example at key stage one, you quickly run out of desk space hopping between guidance notes, questions you ask the kids, resources sheets, answer sheets and the mark scheme. But now, because the computer information is cross-referenced you can pull all the pieces together in one document.
