High-quality test items
Online assessment systems can have many useful features, but what’s even more important is the quality of the test items they provide.
IDMS® Test Builder gives educators access to world class items from the ETS® Formative Assessment Item Bank. The item bank is continuously being reviewed for improvement, proper standard alignment and item creation.
Plus, items within the item bank can be edited by the user. Test Builder puts the educator in control of everything from item definition to responses.
