The instructor gets either a CD or an authorized login+password to access online instructor-only materials. The way it works in my field, the test bank comes from the textbook publisher. How do test banks work anyhow? Do schools pay for subscriptions with the text book agencies, and that gives them access to them? Since the question bank is just a CD, I've always assumed students could in theory find this on bittorrents somewhere, but I would think that studying by trying to memorize the questions would be harder and result in lower grades than just learning the material. And it can create multipel versions of the same test: same questions but in a different order and with the answer options in a different order. It can randomize the order of the questions and scramble up the answers so that the answer listed as A can randomly be listed as B or C, etc. The software can create tests either letting you choose the questions, randomly, or based on some criteria. The CD includes test software and a question bank for each chapter. You email the publisher, request a copy of the textbook and it comes with a textbook and CD.

Test banks come with textbooks for professors. Posted by whoaali at 9:20 PM on NovemĪnd yeah, my test bank contains enough questions, that attempting to memorize them all is the least efficient way to study. Using a similar format and questions, but this professor is sure high and mighty for someone that couldn't even do his own work. I find it unacceptable that a professor would recycle exams. I find it ludicrous that a professor would use commercially made exams and then accuse students of cheating when they used the readily available exams as study tools. Of course all but one of my professors actually wrote new exams every semester, so it was just great practice for the style of the exam and to test yourself and your weaknesses, it didn't hand you the answers. Hell some even let us look at old model answers. Some exams had a strict policy that they were not to be shared and had to be returned, but almost every professor had at least a few old exams that were fair game.

I mean all the exams posted were ones released by the professor. We had these in law school, it never occurred to me they were cheating and well they weren't as the school itself would post former exams online (if the professor ok'd it).
