Abstract
Tests are widely used in assessment. Regardless their forms or types, the tests that are formed of a fixed number of questions are the most efficient in the case of checking the proportion of understood information. Usually, tests are formed from a number of question set by the assessor, but the database that contains the number of questions (the pool of questions) can contain as many as thousands of questions. From this pool, the assessor wants to select only the ones which correspond to certain needs. This paper presents a modality of filtering the questions, firstly by their subject and, secondly, by their solving time. Practically, the assessor will obtain tests formed from sequences of questions which match best with the subjects defined by the user and the total solving time of the test is in the range of a time defined by the assessor. This implies notions related to optimization and fitness, alongside reliability, favorability, correctness, efficiency and other useful and needful characteristics of an intelligent tutoring system.
