Choose one of the following to customize the feedback that will be provided to the students:

Feedback Option Description
Simple thank you

Does not provide the student with a score after submitting his or her test

Most often used in situations where a student might react strongly if his or her score is low

Always used for Benchmark assessments

Overall score

Provides a student with a score as soon as the student clicks Done

Allows the student to know how he or she performed on the test

Does not provide information about specific correct or incorrect responses

Detailed scoring

Provides the student with a review of their responses as soon as the student clicks Done

Identifies every item the student got correct, and provides the correct answer for any item the student got incorrect

Note: Although this option provides the most detailed and immediate feedback to the student on his or her performance, it should not be used in testing situations where a student is able to see another student’s computer screen.

 

Students are now able to take the test online. See Testing Students Online for next steps.

Note:  Clicking the Preview link in the row of a specific test form allows you to view individual test items or demonstrate to students how to begin a test. Because the preview version shows actual test items, you should not provide students with answers to “example” questions, as doing so will invalidate student scores. Answers selected in the preview version are not saved.
