In "my" school system it is difficult to prepare fair, hard-to-
cheat-on tests for 5 class groups of the same course... I have to
prepare at least 2 different tests for each group (they sit in
desks for two persons so they should not be able to copy from
their deskmate), so it would be 10 different tests for one day.
Just randomly cutting and copying parts of tests into different
combinations will not work as well as you might imagine (I tried
that), as it can easily happen that the answer for one test
question get also to be the question on the same test paper
further down, plus some variants may be heavy in assessing one
certain skill while others are heavy in another (for example, if
you are not careful, one test may ask for three species of
crustaceans and three species of echinoderms, while the other one
does not ask for characteristic species at all but has two
questions on feeding).
However, once you manage to prepare several good cut and pasted
test combinations, you may even flirt with norm-referenced grading
as you have enough students to make that statistically valid. You
will also see if there are small parts of curriculum that you
somehow omitted in one of the class groups so you can reteach.
