Creating a New Assignment (Paper Test)

When you create an assignment, you can choose to administer a test as both a paper test and an online test.

1

Use ExamView Test Generator to build a test and print copies for each student.

2

Open ExamView Test Manager and open your class.

NOTE

A single class may contain up to 200 assignments.

3

Click Assignment from the menu bar and select Create New Assignment or click

.

4

Enter the assignment name.

5

Optionally, enter an assignment ID for the assignment.

6

Choose the assignment category and term.

7

Input the date.

8

Select the Paper test scored manually, with a scanner, or with clickers option and click Next.

9

Select the test file (with a TST extension) that you created in step 1 above.

This allows ExamView Test Manager to read in the answer key, point values, etc. If necessary, navigate to the
appropriate folder to access the test file. You can click Preview Test to make sure that you are selecting the correct
test.

10

Review the summary information and click Back if you need to make any changes.

After you create the assignment, it appears in the ExamView Test Manager work area.

11

Click Finish when all of the options are set as desired.

Things to keep in mind

:

You may assign the same paper test to multiple classes. Simply open another class file and create an assignment. Point to the
same test as in step 9 above. You can also copy the assignment from one class to another.

If you need to make any changes to the settings (e.g., change the assignment name, change point values, etc.) click
Assignment from the menu bar and select Edit Assignment Information.

If students take the test on scan forms or with clickers, use the Get Results command to load the results into the ExamView
Test Manager. If students take the test on paper, use the Edit Scores command to enter their scores.

If you are using a scanner or clicker, your test can include open-ended questions such as short answer or essay. However, you
will have to manually score those questions and record the points. If your test includes both objective and open-ended
questions, place the objective questions (e.g., multiple choice) at the beginning of the test.

If you created multiple versions of the same test, save each version of the test as a separate test (TST) file. Then create two
separate assignments (one for each version of the test) in ExamView Test Manager. When you scan, transmit, or enter the test
results into Test Manager, some of the students will not have a score for assignments (depending on which version of the test
they took). These blank scores will not be used when calculating averages on reports.
