ABSTRACT:
An electronically operable multiple-choice response evaluating apparatus comprises a housing having a plurality of first input switches which are manually actuable to introduce a code of indicia representative of a question and a plurality of second input switches which may be manually actuated in order to introduce indicia representative of a selected one of a plurality of possible answers for a question. The housing includes electronic processing means, such as a microprocessor, which compares the code of indicia representative of the question with the indicia representative of the selected answer and determines whether or not the user selected the proper answer. The apparatus may include one or more sheets having the questions listed thereon and with the identifying code of indicia for each question. Two or more answers may be provided on the sheet with each question, and each answer will have indicia representing that particular answer. The user selects a question, uses the first input switches to introduce the code for that question, then selects the proper answer and uses the second input switch to introduce the indicia for that answer. A response mechanism will indicate whether or not the user selected the right answer. The code representative of the questions and the indicia representative of the answers are processed through an algorithm programmed into the processing means so that the relationship between the code of indicia for the question and the indicia for the answer are undiscernible to the user.
