NOTE
The end-of-test report can be a powerful learning tool for students. For example, you could
set up the report to display the rationale and reference information for incorrect responses.
This would provide each student with a customized report of what they missed, and well as
how and where to come up with the correct answer.

Review the test summary and then click Save.
Save the test to a location that is easily accessible to the students. For example, make sure that your students have
read/write access to the folder if you store the test on a network server. If you do not have a network, you must copy the
online test to each workstation. By default, the test will be saved to the Default Online (LAN) Test Path that is set in the
Preferences.
When you save an online test, the program saves a specially formatted copy of the test (using an EOT extension) to the
location you specified. If you saved the test to your hard drive, you will need to copy the EOT file to your network. If your test
includes links to any multimedia files, you need to copy those files manually to the same location as the online test.
Preview your online test to make sure that everything is working. If you notice an error, make any changes to the original test
and publish it again.
Students will take the test using the ExamView Test Player software. If you wish to see student results, instruct them to print a
post-test report. See the help file that accompanies the
for more details.
Publishing a LAN-Based (Online) Test with a Roster
Online (LAN) tests may be created with or without a roster. To record the students' results from a test, you probably will want to
create a test with a roster. If you are creating a study guide for student use and do not want to record the students' results, you
do not need to create a roster.
