What is a test bank?

A test bank is a collection of pre-written exam questions and answers that are designed to assist teachers and professors in creating tests and exams for their students. Test banks are usually created by textbook publishers and contain hundreds or thousands of questions that cover the material in a specific textbook or course. The questions are organized by chapter or topic and are often categorized by level of difficulty.

Test banks are a valuable resource for teachers, as they provide a variety of questions and answers to choose from when creating tests, quizzes, and exams. They can also be used to create study guides, review materials, and other instructional materials.

While test banks can be a useful tool for educators, it is important to note that they should not be used as a substitute for creating original exam questions. In some cases, students may have purchased or gained access to test banks and therefore may have an unfair advantage on exams. Teachers should also be aware that test banks may contain errors or inaccuracies, and as such, any questions used from a test bank should be carefully reviewed and edited before use.
