1.3.3. Test Assembly Module (TAM)
TAM’s main objective is to support the process of test assembly, i.e., to become flexible
and easy process that may take only few seconds. Test forms can be assembled
manually (by selecting items one-by-one), semi-automatically (by searching items
through search criteria), or automatically(just by selecting test blueprint previously
defined on TAM). Depending on how rich is your item-bank, TAM’s test automatic
generation feature can create different equivalent and equated forms as much as you
can imagine. IRT is implemented to support the assembly of equated test forms.
After test assembly process is finished, test booklets are created and exported into
Microsoft Office© format for ease of use. Test booklets can be also saved in the PDF
format before sending them to the printer.
TAM Key Features:
 Produce multiple test forms within single test.
 Generate reports to help in test construction.
 Generate reports for test characteristics curves (TCCs).
 Manual test construction feature is applied (by exploring items over bank levels
and select preferred items).
 Semi-automatically test construction feature is applied (by searching items
through search criteria).
 Test automatic generation feature can create different forms depending on the
test framework and table of specification created by Item Development Module
(IDM).
 Test automatic generation feature can create different forms depending on test
criteria.
 Ability to publish assembled test forms to paper-and-pencil mode or computer
based mode.
