They were needed in tests administered to measure knowledge and judgment. The question editor prompts for a seven-part paragraph. The seven parts are recombined into over two dozen different questions. It also creates multiple version tests that can be reduced to one item analysis by True Score.
 
Cheat Checker 2.03
The Cheat Checker examines similar answer sheets for independent marking. Any pair that fails the test is labeled presumptive cheating. The Cheat Checker then examines the uniqueness of this pair with respect to the entire class. A significant finding for uniqueness and for presumptive cheating is labeled confirmed. A Rule of Thumb for Cheating is five to seven consecutive identical pairs of wrong answers within a string of right anwers.
