Amateur (Ham) Radio Practice Exam Creator

Jeremiah Stoddard - AG6HC <ag6hc@arrl.net>

This is a simple editor that creates and edits XML files for multiple choice
examinations. It was created particularly for touching up XML versions of the
U.S. Amateur Radio License Examination Question Pools. The U.S. Amateur Radio
License Exams are called "Elements," and each one contains various sections
called "subelements" (corresponding to "Exam Sections" in this application),
which are further divided into "Groups" of questions. Each examination
consists of one question randomly selected from each of the question groups,
so that the examination covers the range of topics a potential licensee is
expected to be familiar with. The question pools are publicly available from
<http://www.ncvec.org/>, which means that practice exams can be made from
actual exam questions.

Although this Exam Creator is oriented around the Amateur Radio licensing
exams, it may be useful for designing any type of multiple choice exam with
the same structure of sections and groups. Since the output is an XML file, it
should be straightforward to parse it from another application to actually
present the exam.

The code is licensed under the MIT license, so you can do pretty much whatever
you want with it.
