Testing centers are a useful tool to help instructors deliver computer-based tests, but computers resources are expensive and therefore limited. This paper describes a method by which testing center(s) may use iNetTest, a web-based computer aided testing system, to house and administer exams. The algorithm discussed in this paper makes it possible for instructors to schedule tests for a given time frame while ensuring that enough computer resources will be available to all of the students. The algorithm prevents the testing center from getting overwhelmed with students while attempting to maximize the usage of the valuable computer resources. 2012-01-01 text application/pdf http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1150 http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2144&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.
