 The Test Item File included in this Instructor’s Resource Manual is just one part of Prentice Hall’s
comprehensive testing support service, which also includes TestGen for Windows and Macintosh.

TestGen: What is it?

TestGen is a test generator program that lets you view and edit testbank questions, transfer
them to tests, and then administer those tests on paper, on a local area network, or over the Web. The
program provides many options for organizing and displaying testbanks and tests. A built-in random
number and text generator makes it ideal for creating multiple versions of questions and tests.
Powerful search and sort functions let you easily locate questions and arrange them in the order you
prefer.
TestGen makes test creation easy and convenient with uncluttered side-by-side testbank and
test windows, symbol palettes, expression templates, keyboard shortcuts, a graphing tool, variable
text and numbers, and graphics. In addition, you can assign multiple descriptors to any question,
including page references, topic, skill, objective, difficulty level, and answer explanations.
TestGen provides several options for online testing--a simple export to WebCT and
Blackboard formats, a conversion to HTML files, as well as a TestGen plug-in that displays the test in
a Web browser and reports student results to the gradebook of Pearson’s CourseCompass course
management system.

TestGen: How do I get it?

The TestGen software is free. To order a testbank for a specific TestGen title, you may
contact your local rep or call our Faculty Support Services Department at 1-800-526-0485. Please
identify the main text author and title.

Toll-free technical support is offered to users of TestGen at 1-800-677 6337, or via e-mail at
media.support@pearsoned.com.
