ABOUT EXAMVIEW®
Our World: ExamView® Assessment is an effective, flexible assessment tool that allows teachers to customize their
tests. Teachers can create tests for specific topics, specific lessons or units or a selection of lessons, or even an entire
level by choosing questions from the test banks.
WHY USE EXAMVIEW®?

Our World: ExamView® Assessment allows teachers to evaluate what students already know, as well as how well
students have learnt the material. Teachers can evaluate what students know by giving them a pre-test before they
begin each unit or level. Teachers can also assess learning by giving post-tests after each unit or lesson, or after
each level is completed. Because of the versatility in the program, the students never have to see the same test twice.
The program also makes it very easy for teachers to quickly create A and B versions of the tests.
Many students need experience and practice taking standardized tests. The questions in Our World: ExamView®
Assessment resemble the standardized test items that students will be exposed to in their educational careers. By
first administering an ExamView® test some time before the standardized test is given, teachers may better prepare
their students for the standardized test format.
HOW DOES EXAMVIEW® WORK?

Teachers can use the existing unit tests or compose a test quickly and easily by using the QuickTest Wizard. Teachers
can also simply indicate the number of questions and the types of question they want to include on a test. Teachers
can also create tests by choosing questions according to the individual unit or lesson, or topic on which they want to
focus. Teachers can further customize tests by combining questions from the question bank with original, teacher-
generated questions. They can then simply print out the pre-formatted test for the students to take a traditional paper
and pencil test. Our World: ExamView® Assessment also allows the test to be administered by computer, or online
if hosted on your institution’s website.
HOW DOES EXAMVIEW® WORK WITH THE OUR WORLD SERIES?

The Our World: ExamView® Assessment is designed to ensure flexibility, but also accountability in learning
English. All levels contain questions that accurately and comprehensively assess mastery of the language
introduced in the Student’s Book.
WHAT DOES THE OUR WORLD EXAMVIEW® INCLUDE?

There are two Placement Test banks (and the matching pre-generated tests) for the series to help ascertain the students’
level and 13 banks of test questions covering the content in the Our World series, one for each unit, three cumulative
banks, and a final bank containing test questions for the whole level. For Starter level, there are 11 banks of test
questions (one per Student’s Book unit, two cumulative banks, and a final bank.) The teacher can choose questions
across these banks using different criteria to build their own tests. The questions in the banks have been created in the
following formats: matching, multiple choice, true/false, completion, short answer and essay.
FIELD LABELS
Question type This field allows the teacher to choose questions by their format. For example, true/false,
multiple choice, match and completion.
Reference This field contains the Student’s Book level and unit which the test item relates to.
(REF)
Topic (TOP) Topics indicate exactly what is being tested. For example, Grammar, Vocabulary, Listening,
Speaking, Writing or Reading.

The fields above allow teachers to customize quizzes or tests to match their teaching styles and instructional
objectives. Teachers can let the ExamView® program choose a certain number of questions with a variety of question
types by using QuickTest Wizard, or they can choose specific reference and topic question types by selecting
questions corresponding to these two criteria in the relevant fields using the ExamView® Test Builder.
The tests created by the teacher can be saved on a computer and used repeatedly, or teachers may choose a
combination of new and different criteria to create new tests. Additionally, the possible responses to multiple-choice
tests can be scrambled. An answer key for all selected questions is automatically generated each time for the teacher’s
use. Once the teacher has installed the installer, the ExamView® audio will appear in the Tests folder.
As well as the banks, also included is a set of 13 (11 for Starter level) pre-generated sample tests, each containing
all the questions from its source bank (nine units and the four cumulative banks, eight and three for Starter) to be
used as a complete self-contained test or to be edited or shortened as desired.
HOW TO START USING EXAMVIEW®

To access all the teacher banks and sample tests, and create their own tests from the banks, teachers should first
install the package using the main installer files: Setup.exe (PC) or ExamView Installer.pkg (Mac). The banks,
sample tests and audio files will then install at C:\Program Files\eInstruction or C:\Program Files (x86)\
eInstruction (PC), or Applications\eInstruction (Mac).
More information on how to build tests from the banks can be found in the quick start guide “How to create a test in
ExamView.pdf”.
If students are being tested via a local area network rather than using printed tests, they will need to install the
ExamView Player using Setup.exe (PC) or ExamView Installer.pkg (Mac) inside the “EVPlayer” folder. Note that
for Starter level, only print versions of the content should be used to test students, as content often requires manual
coloring and circling.
