Evaluation and Assessment System

An evaluation system comprising:

• a first input for receiving a signal denoting that a question has been delivered to a trainee;
• a second input for receiving a signal denoting that the trainee has submitted a response to the question;
• a timer, coupled to the first and second inputs, for determining the time elapsed between the trainee receiving the question and submitting a response to the question;
• a confidence level receiver for receiving a signal relating to a trainee's confidence level in his response;
• a store for storing, for each of a plurality of questions, data relating to a score, and a confidence level and the elapsed time for at least one trainee;
• an anomaly processor, coupled to the store, for processing the data relating to the scores, confidence levels and elapsed times for a set of questions taken from the plurality of questions and for producing an output indicating, based on the combined processing of the data relating to the scores, confidence levels, and elapsed times, whether or not an anomalous response to a particular question is detected.
