Options for Creating Assessments

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

• Create New Blank Assessment
• Copy Existing Assessment
• Create New Quick Test Key

To create an assessment from an external ExamView file, review Creating a New Assessment From an Imported ZIP File. 

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

Create a New Blank Assessment 

Selecting Create New Blank Assessment will open the test creation window. Users will:

• add the title of the test,
• select a subject,
• assign a grade level,
• assign performance level percentages,
• select a test type,
• associate a primary course, and
• associate a campus(es) if applicable.

Then select Generate Test.

Note: 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.

Copy Existing Assessment

Select Copy Existing Assessment to copy a new assessment from available Test Types and both Active and Archived assessments.

After selecting an assessment to copy, you can update the general information to reflect the new version of the assessment.

Create New Quick Test Key

You can create a new quick test key by entering the general information for an assessment, then adding question types and rules.

The Test Key view will open. In the Test Key view, correct responses, learning standards, and item weight can be assigned to the questions.
