As Betty Hamilton mentioned, you can now order custom test disks from AR.
The cost is $129 for 50 tests, as opposed to $76 for 50 on the standard
disks.  I ordered 5 custom disks this year, and will only order those in
the future.  While the cost per test is more, for me the cost of tests for
books we own then becomes less.  It also allows me to select the tests for
those materials that we not only own, but those which we wish to have the
students test on.  For those who fear that AR may drive collection
development, this ensures that the collection drives test selection.

Of course, I keep hoping that the price on the cusom disks goes down
further--hmm, and book prices go down, and students never forget to return
items, and----ah well, wishful thinking.
