ABSTRACT:
The device of the present invention is an electronic pacer for facilitating the taking of multiple choice, short answer, or other types of examinations. More specifically, it paces an examinee on a question by question basis by providing a question number display that is incremented at a frequency that allows the examinee to devote an appropriate time to each question and finish the test in a timely manner. This has the utility of allowing an examinee to precisely and accurately determine if she is ahead of or behind schedule. Additionally, the device of the present invention tracks all answer choices and displays the distribution of those answer choices. This feature has the benefit of allowing an examinee unsure of the answer to a particular question, to consider the previously answered questions and choose an under represented answer choice as the answer to the current question.
