Caution: Once you have authored an assessment, changing the test type will generate a pop-up asking you to confirm if you want to use the new test type’s default performance levels. You can deny the change to retain any existing performance level cut points. Raw score, percent score, and other associated data such as student information aren’t affected when changing the test type of an assessment.
