ABSTRACT:
A computer-controlled testing and licensing system is provided for administering a test to a plurality of users on individual, portable, microprocessor-controlled user testing devices. A license is issued to each user passing the test. Each testing device is microprocessor-controlled and includes an information storage medium such as a RAM card for storing information such as test questions and the user's answers thereto. A display on the device displays output information such as test questions from the information storage medium to the user. User entry pads are displayed at predetermined locations on the display for use in permitting the user to input predetermined information to the information storage medium. A touch screen cooperates with the display to enable the user to input selected predetermined input information such as the test answers by touching the screen at a selected user entry pad while such entry pad is displayed on the display. A personal computer is provided for issuing licenses and for storing information such as the test questions, an answer key to the test, and a comparison procedure to enable the computer to provide the test results. An interface device, such as a card reader, is connected with the computer to cooperate with the RAM card of the testing device to permit information to be transferred between the RAM card and the personal computer.
