Resource

A resource can include a reading passage, chart, graph, map, image, and more and have multiple questions associated with it. To create a resource, begin by creating a new assessment in Aware or navigating to an existing one.

Note: An assessment with a resource will remain print and online friendly with multiple choice, multiple selection, constructed response, and numerical response items. Assessments with interactive response items may be printed as test booklets only.
