What is Yardstick Itematic?

Yardstick Itematic is a revolutionary way to build multiple questions at once without having to painstakingly write out each question individually.

Yardstick Itematic works by segmenting a question into multiple components based on its grammatical structure. Using a model defined by the user, a list of alternative stem components (e.g., procedures, symptoms, patient characteristics, etc.) become easily interchangeable. In short, this software allows users to quickly construct unique questions, as well as answer options, in a systematic manner that is far more efficient than creating questions one by one.
