Ease of use good, but more configuration options needed
CNETreadrMay 13, 2009
Pros
? You can use it right away. ? Easy to post on the Web (a must) ? Easy to add media files to test questions ? Provides a variety of test formats
Cons
? Can't control order in which answers appear (in addition to random). ? Preferences should take affect immediately. ? Let test maker add logo and configure placement of time, score, font size, etc. ? Buggy display when going to next question?shifts.
Summary
Ease of use is good and it's okay for a basic product, and kudos for making it easy to publish on the Web. However, the speed of displaying the next page needs to improved, it shifts to the right, hesitates in half-page mode, then refreshes. This would be extremely distracting for a nervous student taking a timed test. Quiz Press needs more options for configuring the look of the pages (background, adding a company or school logo, font size, placement of info on results page, addition of custom messages from the testmaker to the student, etc.). I'd happily buy it if it were improved. I tried many test-makers for the Web and I was surprised at how "neophyte" they all were in concept and design. I consider this one of the better ones, even though it's somewhat limited, for its out-of-the-box ease of use and the fact that you can post the quizzes on the Web on your own site and don't have to rely on a third-party-hosted server. The developer should make the page display configuration options more powerful. If this vendor doesn't add better options for control of the HTML output, there's an opportunity for a competing developer to create something more configurable, perhaps by adding an HTML template page with variables for size, color, background, etc., that can be translated by the software into the final quiz. I was almost ready to buy this sight-unseen based on the product description, but have decided to wait to see if the page display speed is improved, and display configuration options are added.
Potentially Good, But Falls Way Short

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Same problem that everyone else mentioned. People get a grade after taking the test, but they have no idea what they answered right or wrong. How does that help anyone? When I emailed the developer, he was defensive. Something about he cannot promise anything. The company does create nice programs, like the crossword puzzle software. However, this Quiz Press looks like a half-hearted effort. I would have bought a replacement if I knew of one.
Standalone Quizmakers are Dead

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Quizzes are only one part of a learning website. Complete learning management systems (LMS) such as Moodle, Dekeos, Blackboard, etc. provide a full range of learning activities and learner management records. They need a good, fast quiz making tool to add lots of quizzes without a complicated procedure. Quiz Press could provide this but unfortunately does not provide integration. Until it does, it will fill a vanishing niche.
Good for the price, but

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I can only use it for practice tests. It is great for those, but what it must have for me to use it for scored tests is a feature that tells me and the student the specific questions that were incorrectly answered. It could conform to what are referred to as "best practices" in education. The developer could easily double the price at that point and I would be very happy. Would also like the option to add essay questions that would be unscored by the application. I could then have all the current test types, scored by the application, with reporting of incorrect answers , as well as a portion of the test (essay) that I would score manually. At that point, I'd gladly pay $100 or more for it.

Developer’s Description

By SOL Robots

Make tests with multiple choice, true false, fill-in the blank, cloze, for print & the web.

Quiz Press creates tests and quizzes, and distributes them in print, over the web, for the iPod, or to other testing systems. Quizzes can include six different question types (Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blanks, Short Answer, True or False, Essay, and Cloze), and also allows for fully customizable titles. Web quizzes are delivered in Flash, so they are fun to use and cross-platform. They can be published as stand-alone pages or embedded within other web content, and on any website, including .Mac. The quizzes can also be printed for conventional testing.

Quiz Press was designed to be easy to use from the ground up. For example, to add a fill in the blank question simply type a sentence or paragraph, click the word(s) you want to make blank and press a button. Don't want to use the mouse? No problem, we have designed Quiz Press so that you can do all of the steps needed to create a test with your hands firmly planted on the keyboard. Experiment to your heart's content; you can't make a mistake, with our unlimited Undo and Redo system, we have got you covered.

Making a web based quiz is as easy as pressing a button. Quiz Press automatically commands your web browser to let you experiment with your quiz. When you are ready to publish to the web it is just as easy. Just pick a name and place to save on your hard drive and then drag your quiz to your FTP site or .Mac iDisk.
