Publish a Test for Online Administration

To administer your test to students online, you must publish it to the Test Administrator (TA) Interface. You can administer any test you publish, and you can share the test with other Authoring users to let them administer it as well. You cannot make changes to a test once you publish it, although you can copy it and edit the copy. Every test gets published from the test builder, whether you generated it automatically or built it manually.

1.Select Publish Test in the toolbar.

2.A window pops up, asking you to verify which tools will be turned on for the test. You may select options from the available dropdowns and toggles and then select Publish Test.

3.In the confirmation message that appears, select OK. The test status will change to Published. Please note, this action cannot be reversed.

• A test window may be automatically created for the test when you publish it. This test window determines when it will be available for administration. You can edit the window from the Tests tab.
• You can share tests with other educators for administration purposes.
• After publishing a test, you can add it to your test sessions by selecting it from the Select Tests tab in the TA Interface. The Select Tests tab allows you to filter and search for a specific test based on the subject and grade properties selected for it in Authoring. You can administer tests from a shared test library, your own tests, and tests that other users shared with you. Tests created in Authoring have unlimited test opportunities in the TA Interface.
