Internal Testing Service (ITS)

Internal testing service: to formalize the making admission tests

What does it do?

The scripts in this repo do a few things

• Insert MCQs from a bunch of files to a bank XML file
• Enable you to randomly construct a test from bank with sections
• Convert XML to TeX
• COnvert TeX to PDF (requires pdflatex)
• Various manipulations on raw and bank files
• Stats on various files

Howto

Most of the API is references in src/index.py. Most importantly you can call

• raw2bank.add_questions_from_directory(bank_file_path,inout_dir)
• makeTest.py does everything including randomly selecting tests, separating questions and answers, converting to TeX, converting to pdf (assuming TeX is install), and perform basic cleanup.
