Click the Test/Survey button on the bullet page dialog box.
2 Type the title for the Test.
3 Specify whether this is a Test or a Survey.
4 Specify whether the test is Optional or Required.
5 Specify the Number of Questions on your test.

You can have up to 100 questions for each test.

6 Specify the number of correct answers required to declare mastery of the test.

Students will receive a good score message if they answer this number of questions correctly.

7 To provide feedback to the student for the test questions, click Feedback.

You have control over what information is shown to the student when they submit their test.

You can provide:

  • the list of questions answered incorrectly by question number.
  • the students score
  • feedback for both incorrect and correct answers
  • feedback for each possible answer
  • the question number and the student's answer number (if appropriate) next to the question feedback
Once you specify the type of feedback you want to use, additional fields appear next to each question where you can provide your feedback text.
8 If appropriate for the type of question, specify the Number of Answers for the question.
9 Click the Number of Questions to Display arrow and specify a number equal to or less than the total number of test questions to have different questions presented to each student (question pooling).

Note: To enable this field, you must first configure Server-Side Testing so that the server generates tests in random order.

10 You can choose whether you want to display the answers/choices and/or feedback (if enabled) in the Test/Survey dialog box.
11 Click the Type arrow to choose the type of question you want.
12 If you want a particular question on the test to be a non-graded survey question, select Survey Question.
13 Type the question in the Question field.

14 Type the possible answers.
15 Specify the correct answer.
16 Specify the amount of weight to apply for the question towards the total test score.

For example, if question #2 is twice as hard as question #1, enter a weight of 2 for question #2.

17 The Test Name and Course-wide Setup are only required if you are using Server-Side Testing.

You can specify further test parameters by clicking Test Configuration.

18 To specify a timed test or to change the course flow based on the test score, click Test Configuration.
