7. Class name and ID…
The class name and ID help sort out the different classes, but the ID is used more commonly with importing and exporting data. It is important to have an easily recognizable class name and ID. Consider creating a naming scheme for all classes to follow. By default, the name and ID for a class are identical. This is perfectly fine, and it makes organization easier. Class names and IDs may be changed from the home page.

8. Adding your students…
Go to the Edit Class page to add students. (Note: if already there, skip to step 2.) If in Cards view, click the edit button for the class. If in Table view, click the pencil icon in the Actions area next to the class.
Under the “Add Student” section, type the name or ID of the students in the class in the search box, click to select them, and click Add to Roster.

9. Creating Tests…
The test creator is a highly customizable approach to answer sheet creation.
You may add test sections to include multiple choice, math and subjective questions, and customize headers and footers.
The test creator allows you to add the various sections in any order, to separate and organize test items freely. To ensure that you are on the right track, the test preview window continually updates, showing what the test will look like.

10. Types of Questions
Multiple choice: “True or false” is an example of this type of question. You can choose to include between 1 and 26 answer choices for each objective section, but note that all questions for the same section must have the same answer choices.
Math: These questions involve the student filling in a grid of bubbles to allow for free form number input.
Subjective: Subjective questions are used for handwritten responses, such as short answer and essay questions. You can choose to use bubbles to enter the points earned before scanning in completed tests.

11. Creating your first test…
To create your first test, make sure you have selected a class and click the New Test button in the upper right-hand part of the screen.
Create a name for the test. It does not have to be unique to the class, as the test may be copied to other classes.
Click the Add dropdown button to add a new section.
Selecting the new test button

12. Creating your first test…
For each section, there is a primary, design, and layout component.

In the Design section, you can give the section a name and starting number.
In the Layout section, you can change the general layout of the section.
Click Save Section when you are finished adding a section.
When you have finished adding the sections, you can drag the sections to move them around and change their order on the test.

Editing header, footer, and settings

13. Creating your first test…
In the Header section, select the number of versions of the test you want to include. Multiple versions of the same test can curb cheating.
Select the Show student ID region checkbox if would like to have the students fill in their ID number to identify their test.
If this option is applied, additional formatting drop-down boxes appear so you can select how many digits are in the ID numbers and how to orient them.
When using the Student ID region, student names are not printed on the test answer sheets, but a QR code is still included with the identifying test information. This option is great for larger class sizes. If you select Make generic test form, no identifying information will be included on the test. This allows the same form to be used for different tests.
Click Save to save your changes to the header, footer and settings.
