Hello!

My workplace administers a two part spelling test to all candidates. For years it has been done with our receptionist calling out the spelling words - a la 4th grade spelling test.

The person that is currently doing the testing retires in a couple of weeks and I would like to automate the procedure. Do you think a spelling test of 20 or 25 words could be done in some sort of HTML script or JAVA script that would also score the test?

We have a very limited website that we use MSPublisher and it does all the coding so I haven't had to learn any :) I also use sites like Dynamic Drive that give you a template that you just have to be altered a bit to use.

I have been looking also for software for applicant testing, but it seems to run very high and offers way more than we need.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks!

Does this need to be web based?

I can be, but doesn't have to be.

I can do it either, way. We've gotten to the point of having them take the test before we even waste the time on filling out the application. Sad really, because it is an 8th spelling test.

Ok, so you need something to say the words then they type in the spelling?

Correct - or it can be "select the correctly spelled word"

Your PM about Access has me hunting through our office library. Thanks!

You can do a multiple choice choice as well. Use a Listbox that displays the choices for that word. When they submit go on to the next word.

Using a listbox, you may not need any coding at all.
