What is a Mapped Exam?

 

A Mapped Exam is one in which the instructors have multiple forms/versions of the same exam (A, B, C, etc.). 

In other words, students can receive up to three different question arrangements for the same exam. Students need to indicate in the Form Box of their bubble sheet which form of the exam they used. Instructors should fill out the KKEY/KEY for form A.  Then instructors will fill out a separate KKEY/KEY for form B, another for form C, and so on. 

Instructors must submit a separate KKEY/KEY for each version of the exam (A, B, C, etc.).  

All test versions must have the same number of questions, same point value, and answer choices must be in the same order.  Only the questions can be scrambled.

Instructors may only rearrange the question sequence, not the responses to the questions.

EX: Item #1 on A is item #15 on B and item #2 on A is item # 16 on B, etc.

The student forms do not need to be separated by exam version, however, students must have “Form” bubbled in on their exam.  If their exam was the form A exam, then they fill in A on their bubble sheet.  If it was the form B exam, then they fill in B form on their bubble sheet.  

The MAP reports will be a class composite.  One set of results for the class.  It is worth noting that some reports may be formatted a bit differently than a non-MAP exam.
