About ExamView
The ExamView Assessment CD-ROM for Time Zones Books 1 and 2 is an

effective and flexible assessment tool that allows teachers to create
tests for specific lessons, units, or even entire books by choosing
questions from the lesson banks.
Why Use ExamView ?

ExamView allows teachers to evaluate how well students learned the
vocabulary, structures and functions they practiced in a lesson. It
also gives teachers an opportunity to evaluate their own teaching
process, the materials, and their students progress.
ExamView is a great student motivator because students can see and
record their progress from test to test. The different question types
also allow students to practice thinking about and processing the new
information in different ways.
How Does ExamView Work?

Teachers can compose a test easily by using the QuickTest Wizard.
Teachers indicate the number of questions and the type(s) of question
they want, and the test is created automatically.
Teachers can also create their own test by choosing Create a new
test from scratch on the main menu. They can then select questions
from the question banks according to the book, unit and question type
they want to focus on.
Teachers can further customize quizzes and tests by combining
questions from the question bank(s) with original, teacher-generated
questions. Then, they can then simply print out the pre-formatted
quiz for the students to take a traditional pencil and paper test.
As well as the main unit tests, this assessment CD-ROM contains an
additional Listening Test for each unit of Time Zones 1 and 2.
Teachers can view these Listening Tests by selecting Open an
existing test from the main menu, and selecting the relevant
level(s) and unit(s).
The audio passages for the Listening Tests are contained on the
accompanying audio CD. The scripts for the listening passages are
provided on this CD-ROM as PDF and Word files, for the teachers
reference.
ExamView also allows the test to be administered by computer, or
even hosted online on the school website or, for an additional fee,
on the ExamView website (www.fscreations.com).
What Does ExamView Include?

The types of questions provided in each test bank mimic the types of
questions used on standardized tests of English. The following types
of questions are available: multiple choice, true/false, short
answer, completion, matching, and essay (a short writing assignment).
Each unit test bank includes questions on grammar, vocabulary,

reading, and conversation (i.e. functional language). There is also
one open-ended writing assignment in each test (Essay question type).
The additional Listening Test for each unit contains questions that
focus on comprehension of meaning (6 items) and sound recognition and
other aspects of pronunciation (4 items).
Teachers should note that the reading passages and listening passages
on this CD-ROM are specially written for this assessment program and
are not the same as passages found in the Student Book. However, the
passages review many of the language items featured in the Student
Book units.
There are several fields in ExamView that enable you to customize
your tests. You will find that the questions are labeled in several
ways to help you sort and choose the question type you desire, for
example, by Reference (unit and page number), Objective (e.g.
Grammar, Vocabulary), and Topic (e.g. Greetings).
These fields allow teachers to customize tests or quizzes to match
their teaching styles and instructional objectives. Teachers can let
the ExamView Assessment program choose a certain number of questions
with a variety of question types by using the QuickTest Wizard.
The tests created by the teacher can be saved on a computer and used
over and over, or teachers may choose a combination of new and
different criteria to create new tests. Additionally, the sequence of
questions, and also the possible responses to multiple choice tests,
can be scrambled, and multiple versions of the same test can be
created. It is recommended, however, that teachers do not scramble
the order of questions in the Listening Tests, as the items will no
longer match the sequence of tracks on the audio CD.
An answer key for all selected questions is automatically generated
for the teachers use. As well as answers, the key also contains
information on each item, such as objective and topic. The answer key
for the Listening tests also lists the track number that corresponds
with each question item.
What Other Files are Included on This ExamView CD-ROM?

This Assessment CD-ROM also contains PDFs of the Time Zones Mid-Term
and Final tests featured in the Teachers Editions for levels 1 and
2. Teachers may prefer to print these tests out directly using these
PDFs, rather than photocopying the test pages in the Teachers
Edition. The PDF files also include the scripts and answer keys for
the Mid-term and Final tests. The audio portions of the Mid-term and
Final tests are included on this CD-ROM as MP3 files.
Teachers should note that the questions in the Mid-term and Final
tests are different from those in the ExamView Unit Tests and
Listening Tests.
