Abstract

ITP TOEFL (Institutional Testing Program Test of English as a Foreign Language) was performed using the same questions in one session and in one room. There is several activities in the ITP TOEFL include: asking questions, fill in the answers and assessments. Question management in ITP TOEFL is necessary to avoid a cheating in exams. This research develops a model of ITP TOEFL using Fisher Yates Algorithm. Fisher Yates Algorithm is used to randomize question. This randomization method aims to produce many variations of question in ITP TOEFL. The result of this research is procured many variations of different questions but with the same criteria (weighted equally) among the test participants (1.31×10¹⁰).

Keywords:

Fisher yates algorithm , ITP TOEFL , variations of question,
