System and method for facilitating creation of an educational test based on prior performance with individual test questions

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by one or more physical processors for facilitating creation of an educational test based on prior performance with individual test questions, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause the one or more physical processors to:

• display, via a user interface, a selectable listing of the set of questions;
• receive, via the selectable listing of the user interface, a first selection of a first question from among the set of questions, the first question having a first question performance metric value;
• add the first question to the test based on the first selection;
• calculate a test performance metric value associated with the test based on at least the first question performance metric value;
• provide the test performance metric value for presentation on the user interface;
• receive a first user input from the user indicating a target level of difficulty for the test;
• determine a current level of difficulty for the test based on at least the first question;
• identify one or more questions each associated with its own level of difficulty, recommended for inclusion in the test based on the current level of difficulty of the test, and the level of difficulty for each of the one or more questions such that inclusion of the one or more questions will result in the target level of difficulty for the test being achieved;
• receive a second user input from the user indicating a test performance benchmark value for the test;
• select, based on the test performance benchmark value and the test performance metric value, at least one question of the identified one or more questions as questions recommended for inclusion in the test;
• and
• display a recommendation to include the selected one or more questions in the test via the user interface.

A method for facilitating creation of an educational test based on prior performance with individual test questions, the method being implemented on a computer system, the method comprising:

• displaying, via a user interface, a selectable listing of the set of questions;
• receiving, via the selectable listing of the user interface, a first selection of a first question from among the set of questions, the first question having a first question performance metric value;
• adding the first question to the test based on the first selection;
• calculating a test performance metric value associated with the test based on at least the first question performance metric value;
• providing the test performance metric value for presentation on the user interface;
• receiving a first user input from the user indicating a target level of difficulty for the test;
• determining a current level of difficulty for the test based on at least the first question;
• identifying one or more questions each associated with its own level of difficulty, recommended for inclusion in the test based on the current level of difficulty of the test, and the level of difficulty for each of the one or more questions such that inclusion of the one or more questions will result in the target level of difficulty for the test being achieved;
• receiving a second user input from the user indicating a test performance benchmark value for the test;
• selecting, based on the test performance benchmark value and the test performance metric value, at least one question of the identified one or more questions as questions recommended for inclusion in the test;
• and
• displaying a recommendation to include the selected one or more questions in the test via the user interface.
