Easy Test Maker (free) http://www.easytestmaker.com/default.aspx

With this program you can make multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, short answer, and true/false tests. It even has a built in spell check function. The Easy Test Maker is free but you will need to pay for any upgrades. I like the fact that you can add multiple types of test questions on one page. In this example you can see that I used fill in the blank, multiple choice, true/false, short answers, and matching.

To get started you will need to register first. Then you can begin by clicking on the type of questions you want to form. Example 1 shows all types of questions on one page.

You can preview and print the test and answers. If you want to insert questions in the middle of two questions all you have to do is insert new before or after a question. You can move a question up or down depending what order you want them on the test.

You can edit a question or delete the questions fairly easily. The students can also look at the Word Bank to see possible answers to the questions. The Word Bank is a good way to help students recall the information and deduce possible solutions.

The only way you can download this on to your computer is if you upgrade. Otherwise the test will be saved online. The nice thing about it is you can print out the test and answer sheet. Having the answer sheet can make grading easier especially if someone else is doing the grading. If you decide to upgrade you will be able to generate and print alternated version of the test. This will automatically up the question and answers in random order. If you want to purchase the upgrade, it will cost $14.95 to upgrade for a year and if you upgrade for two years it would only cost $25.95.
