Abstract	Most conscientious college instructors maintain a pool of items to facilitate the construction of course examinations. Typically, each item is typed on a 5"X8" card and coded by course, book chapter, concept and other such keys. The back of the card usually contains data about the item collected from one or more administrations of the item. To construct a test, the instructor peruses this item bank looking for items that meet his current needs. Items are selected on the basis of their content and further filtered by examining the item data on the card, overlapping items are eliminated, and the emphasis of the test is balanced. After having maintained such a system for a number of years, it became obvious that there should be a better way. Consequently, the total process of maintaining an item bank and creating a test was examined in detail. The result of this study was the design and implementation of the Test Construction and Analysis Program (TCAP). The design goal was to provide an instructor with a computer based item banking and test construction system. Because the typical instructor maintains a rather modest item bank, the design emphasis was upon flexibility and capabilities rather than upon capacity. In order to achieve the necessary flexibility TCAP was implemented as a conversational system using an interactive terminal. Considerable care was taken to build a system that had a very simple computer-user interface.
