The main objective behind creating Question Bank Software is to help to solve the problems faced by various educational institutes like schools, collages, coaching institutes, etc. in arranging regular exams or tests. Working on an online exam or online test paper needs lots of time and energy by the teacher as well as by a computer operator. However the Question Bank Software facilitates the teacher to finish all the work easily without the assistance of the operator. The Question Bank Software is also called as Question Paper Generator (QPG).
The main feature of this software is that it does not store any questions; instead it stores the references to unique question IDs and corresponding filter tags applied to them. The QPG offers flexibility in feeding the questions in a Doc file that is a Question Resource (QR) file, even in the absence of QPG software. The question is stored in the text format in this QR file. This characteristic of the software shows the capacity of the software and a variety of texts that can be managed by it.
The Question Bank software also provides scope for storing text in multiple languages, creating diagrams and storing pictures. It further enables to incorporate formulas using unique formula editor functions. The software has the potential to delete the repeated questions and searches for questions that have not been used. Hence a teacher can create monolingual or bilingual question papers with formulas, diagrams and pictures without the need to check the repetition of questions with the help of QPG software.
