ExcelAssess

ExcelAssess was free software for Windows that allows you to administer self-marking exams in Excel. It comes with a large bank of questions in Excel skills, statistics, basic mathematics and economics.

As of 2016, we are retiring the software, since we have heard that it does not work on current version of Windows (at least 8 and 10) and we do not have the ability to upgrade it. This means we have disabled downloads of the software. If you still need the software and are sure you can run it, you can request a download from econ-network@bristol.ac.uk.

We do have the complete source code. It is not freely downloadable since it contains answers to the questions. However, we can make the source code available on request to developers who can help to upgrade it.
