Admin and

from the
dropdown menu.
Step 2: Now you can select either
Create an Express Test or Create a
Manual Test. Today we will select
EXPRESS TEST – “Start Now”
STEP 3: First,
name the test,
choose what
type of test you
want it to be
(Common
Assessment for
today), select
subject, grade
level, Perferred
Standards
Document.
•IMPORTANT: We
wont do this today,
but by checking
“Yes” for “Answer
Key Only” you
can just enter an
answer key and
not have to write
or copy a test you
already have!
STEP 4: For today, indicate “No”
for “Answer Key Only”. Next
Click “Select Standards”; (then
see instructions on next slide of
this guide)
•You can then
generate scan
sheets and use the
new scanner and
analyzie results via
Schoolnet
STEP 6: After you
select standards,
click “Add to Test
Map”
STEP 5: You can simply select a subject and then
all the questions will simply be aligned to that
overall subject area. You can also click the “+” and
select a specific standard within that subject area.
STEP 7: Select the number of questions for your
standard. For now, just pick 3, 4, or 5. You can later
add more questions. Next, click “Build Express
Test”
STEP 8: Express test defaults to multiple choice.
You can change type (T/F, etc.) but we’ll do multiple
choice for now. Click Edit to write the first question.
Step 9: This is the edit page for a multiple choice question. Click
into where it says “Click to add content” and an editor box will
appear (see next slide)
Step 10: Write the question by typing into
the dialog box that appears. You can edit
using bold, underline, colors, equations,
etc. just like you would in Word. You can
even cut and paste from another
document. Click Save when done.
Click and type in an answer choice
If “A” is the correct answer, check
this box and indicate number of
points for the question (defaults to 1
point)
Step 11: After adding your question, write
in your answers, select the correct
response, and indicate the number of
points for the question.
Step 12: Once you have finished one question, click
onto the next number at the Test Item timeline across
the top. If you see a warning symbol (a yellow or red
triangle) for the previous question, it means you need
to fix something about that question (for example:
perhaps you did not add an answer)
Note: If interested, explore the other
question types (True-False, grid…)
Step 13: Once you have finished all of your test items
click Return to Test Detail to move on at the bottom
right of your page,.
Step 14: You can now schedule the test to be taken by
students, or download, edit, copy, delete, and print.
Step 15: Click Ready to Schedule when you want to

the test cannot be edited will appear. Select OK to move
