McGraw-Hill Higher Education, a premier provider of print and digital teaching and learning solutions for the post- secondary and higher education markets, announces the availability of EZ Test Online, a unique program that provides instructors using McGraw-Hill textbooks an entire online venue combining high quality content and the ability to prepare and deliver tests to students in a variety of ways.

McGraw-Hill EZ Test Online is accessible to busy instructors virtually anywhere - in their office, at home or while traveling - and eliminates the need for them to install test software. It gives instructors access to hundreds of textbook question banks and millions of questions when creating their tests. Instructors can view question banks associated with their textbook or easily create their own questions. They can quickly and easily create multiple versions of tests that can be saved for future delivery as a paper test or online. When created and delivered with EZ Test Online, each student's test is immediately scored, saving instructors valuable time and allowing them to quickly give test feedback to students.

"This evolution of our testing services makes test creation and management efficient for instructors. Accessible anywhere via the Web, McGraw-Hill EZ Test Online meets all of the needs of our busy instructors and supports their increasing expectation for ubiquitous availability of content and services," said Jeremy Singer, president of McGraw-Hill Higher Education Digital Products. "We are proud to provide instructors with this new assessment solution that is facilitating teaching and learning, as well as classroom management."

Early users of the EZ Test Online report outstanding results with the new assessment system. "I've tried to deliver online mid-terms and finals for several years. I have now used EZ Test Online for two semesters in my introductory advertising class with more than 500 students. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to finally find a system that not only works but comes with such outstanding and responsive service," said Janice Bukovec-Phelps, a professor at Michigan State University.

EZ Test Online was specially built to serve high volumes of students, providing reliable and stable service when large numbers of tests are delivered simultaneously. For example, more than 600,000 standardized practice tests were successfully administered in schools throughout the state of Illinois during the most intense two-month practice period of the year. EZ Test Online is used by numerous education institutions across the U.S. to deliver assessment practice and other tests to students.
