Adding Items from Exclusive Libraries

An item library may be exclusive if its items use scoring rules that are incompatible with the items from other libraries (for example, NGSS Interim is exclusive). This means that the items in exclusive libraries cannot be added to tests that already have items from any other library, including items that you created. An Add from Library button appears in the test builder for each exclusive library available to use.

• To add an item from an exclusive library, click Add from Library for that specific library. Then follow the steps outlined in the section Adding Test Items from Your Available Libraries.
• Once you add an exclusive library item to a test, you will not be able to create original items or add items from other libraries on the additional pages of that test. In other words, if you add an exclusive library item to a test, every other item on the test must come from that same library.
• If a test already includes items you created from a template or items from a non-exclusive library, the Add from Library buttons for exclusive libraries will not be available. You would need to create a new test in order to add exclusive library items to it.
