# Options for Creating Assessments

**Campus and District test authors** and **teachers** can choose one of the four options for creating a new test or key:

- [Create New Standard Assessment](/v1/docs/options-for-creating-assessments#create-a-new-standard-assessment)
- [Create New Rubric Assessment](/v1/docs/options-for-creating-assessments#create-new-rubric-assessment)
- [Create New Quick Test Key](/v1/docs/options-for-creating-assessments#create-new-quick-test-key)
- [Copy Test Under Actions](/v1/docs/options-for-creating-assessments#copy-test-under-actions)

To create an assessment from an external ExamView file, review [Creating a New Assessment From an Imported File](/v1/docs/creating-a-new-assessment-from-an-imported-file).

The roles and rights of the user will determine the access and editing level of the created assessment. Selecting an option will then move to the respective test creation page.

> [!WARNING]
> **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.
