Using ExamView on Mac OS 10.15 and newer

Starting with macOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple no longer supports 32-bit applications, including ExamView.

TurningClassic (formerly TurningPoint desktop) with ExamView support has been released. You can convert ExamView test (.tst) and question bank (.bnk) files into TurningClassic question lists (tests), create new question lists, and print them. TurningClassic is a free download from https://www.turning.com/downloads/turningclassic.
