Clear Path Item Writer: Offline Multiple-Choice Test Question Writer and Checker

An offline test question writer for instructional designers, trainers, and teachers. Write multiple-choice and other test items, get live suggestions for common item-writing flaws, check blueprint coverage, print a test and answer key, and run basic item analysis, all in one HTML file in your browser.

Clear Path Item Writer is a single HTML file that opens in your browser and works completely offline. There's no account, no subscription, and nothing to install. Your questions stay on your computer.

What it does:

• Objectives list with IDs (O-01…) and three levels, Recall, Explain, and Perform: the same levels the Clear Path kits use

• Item editor for multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer, and performance checklists, with key, rationale, reviewer, version, and status for every item

• Live writing suggestions as you type. It catches unemphasized NOT/EXCEPT, "all of the above," a key that's longer than the distractors, absolute words, duplicate options, a/an grammar cues, a key that repeats a stem word, missing objective links, level mismatches, incomplete stems, and key-position patterns across your bank

• Blueprint matrix (objectives × levels) that flags objectives with no items

• Test builder with a reproducible shuffle seed, a printable test and answer key, Copy as text, and Download .doc

• Item analysis from pasted learner responses: difficulty (p), upper-lower discrimination (D), distractor counts, and a worked example of the math

• JSON backup and import, plus CSV exports whose IDs and columns line up with the Course-to-Assessment Alignment Kit workbook

• A fictional sample bank to explore before you start your own

Good for: instructional designers, trainers, course developers, and teachers who write their own quizzes and checks.

Please note:

• The suggestions are heuristic prompts for review, not a judgment of quality, and item statistics are screening tools, not proof of validity.

• Your data is saved in your browser on your computer. Export a JSON backup regularly.

• Tested in current Chrome; it should also run in other current browsers. LMS export formats (QTI and similar) aren't included.

What you get: clear-path-item-writer.html, sample-bank.json, README.md, Using-AI-With-This-Kit (Word and PDF), and Whats-New-v1.2.txt, in one ZIP.

NEW in v1.1: Using AI With This Kit guide with ready-to-use prompts and a verification checklist — draft in a chat assistant, then check and refine offline in Clear Path Item Writer.

NEW in v1.2: levels now match the kits (Recall, Explain, Perform), so the alignment-workbook CSV pastes in with no conversion. Older saved work converts automatically.
