Publishing a Test So It Can Be Administered to Students

In order to administer your test to students, you must publish it to the Test Administration Site. 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 or its items once you publish it.

1.To publish a test to the TA Site, save any changes to the test items and validate the test.

2.Once the test is valid, click Publish Test in the test toolbar.

3.In the confirmation message that appears, click OK. The test status will change to Published, as will the status of each item on the test.

• Before or after publishing a test, you can share that test with other educators for administration purposes. District- and school-level users can also set administration dates when they share a test with educators in their institutions. These dates determine when the test will be available in the TA Site.
• After publishing a test, you can add it to your test sessions by selecting it from the Test Selection window in the TA Site. The Test Selection window 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.
