I'm bothered by the inefficiency in the database with the multiple copies of questions.Yup, good point. I myself have not had a chance to look at the problem directly but I suppose at some point it will crop up for me as well. If I get time I will have a boo and see what I can do to create some sort of 'test generator' with questions already in the database so that you will be able to create a "new test" with "old questions".
What about the fact that the test questions are stored *with each answer*? That's gotta be a huger inefficiency. But fixing it might mean that we need a write-once approach to storing test questions: when you change a test question, you don't want to affect already-subitted results. I think. Unless you're just changing which answer is marked as 'correct'. Complicated, innit? - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045
