  • Abstract
    Preparing sets of exam questions has always related with planning and strategizing the contents and levels of the questions. A tool has been developed to help lecturers to set up the questions. This tool is not purposely to automatically generate the questions but it is used to justify the level and early planning before the questions being constructed. In this tool, levels of difficulties are justified based on Bloom´s Taxonomy level. The components of Bloom´s Taxonomy have been divided into three stages starting with the basic knowledge up to students´ evaluation capacity. This tool only limits a total of hundred marks for each set no matter how many number of questions to be constructed. User only need to fill in a few steps before they can generate the final report consists of the topics and marks that they have planned. Finally through the report, panels of evaluator can check whether the set of questions meets the requirement of the course in that semester.
