ExamView Assessment Suite 29
Creating a New Assignment
Before you can score a test, you must first build it using ExamView Test Generator and then create an assignment in
ExamView Test Manager. When you create the assignment, ExamView Test Manager automatically opens the test file and
reads the following information for each question (if available): answer, reference, learning objective, local standard, state
standard, national standard, and points.
1 Use ExamView Test Generator to build a test.
Automated scoring methods such as scanning or response device transmission only work with objective questions
such as multiple choice and true/false. If your test includes open-ended questions such as short answer or essay, you
must manually score those questions and record the points.
NOTE
If you plan to administer multiple (scrambled) versions of a test, create one version, print it,
and then save the file. Scramble the test to create the next version, print it, and save the test.
For each unique test, you must create a separate assignment.
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, category, term and date.
5 Select the Paper test scored manually, with a scanner, or with clickers option and click Next.
6 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.
7 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.
8 Click Finish when all of the options are set as desired.
Importing Assignments from a CPS Database
Importing assignments from CPS brings in data that includes student responses, points earned, correct answers, difficulty
level, and standards associated with the questions in the CPS session data. Even if the CPS session data is collected from an
ExamView source, imported questions cannot be viewed from within Test Manager. Aside from this limitation, imported
assignments appear identical to ExamView-created assignments and can be analyzed using Test Manager's reporting tools.
NOTE
Student records are matched to the Test Manager roster based on student ID alone. First name,
last name, and device IDs are not compared.
