Both a and b would be effective in countering this strategy for cheating on an exam. A computer-tailored test administration to each testtaker would make it difficult for a future testtaker to share the exact same exam with another testtaker. Additionally, a computer-randomized presentation of test items would make it difficult for a future testtaker to know the exact questions that would appear on the exam. By using both of these strategies, the likelihood of a testtaker being able to cheat by memorizing and sharing specific exam items would be greatly diminished.
