Abstract
A method of constructing written educational tests at the local school district level from validated test questions linked to statements of specific learning objectives in a data base recorded on compact laser discs. A laser disc player operated by the educator who is formulating the test displays and edits the available questions in selected topics on a visual monitor. The questions which are displayed may be selected at the local level to reflect the actual content of the course which is being examined. After all questions have been selected, they can be downloaded (including graphics) to a laser printer which prints professional quality test booklets at the local site. Alternatively, reference to the selected questions (numbers) can be downloaded onto a floppy disc which is transported to a service bureau for printing of the test booklets there. The test results can be scored locally and test reports can be printed locally.
