Overall, PrimeExam provides an exceptional amount of functionality. PrimeExam does not have multi-platform support. (Windows only)

Good Features:

• auto-convert function converts old exams into reusable question banks
• easy-to-use wizards for question addition, editing, categorizing, and deleting
• random selection tools intelligently build exams
• highly customizable questions (difficulty level, question group, type, subject, book, and more)
• powerful export functions (can save exams as HTML, MS Word documents, RTF documents, or text documents)
• great question format variety (multiple choice, essay, short answer, true/false)
• special fonts, images, and symbols can be added to questions (similar to functionality expected for our project)

Bad Features:

• strict question formatting (i.e. multiple choice questions have to follow the pattern a.answer1 b.answer2 c.answer3)
• auto-convert function is not very robust (tests have to be strictly formatted for it to work correctly)

Missing Features:

• an open-source data format
• customizable question formatting (question addition tool)
• doesn't support answers containing code snippets
• doesn't support test grading
• doesn't support test giving (no client/server functionality)
