starQuiz Publisher Description

starQuiz is an easy to use software package that makes computerized testing a snap! You can create quizzes with multiple choice, multiple select, true or false, short answer, fill in the blank, matching, numeric, and essay questions. Quizzes can include pictures, movies, web links, time limits, and more.

Students can take the quiz in a computer lab using starQuiz NetClient, then see their results as soon as they finish the quiz. Or, upload the quiz to the free quiz.cosmicsoft.net hosting service, where students can take it from any internet-connected computer. If you'd rather give the quiz in your classroom, print it out on paper.
