Updating exams
This article provides instructions, along with relevant links to guides, on how to properly update exams and test them to ensure changes were accurately implemented
Edit items, exam settings, and forms
- Edit items as needed following the guides below.
- When finished editing items be sure to publish all item changes
- For any items that have been edited, be sure to upgrade the items on the exam form
- Go to Exams > Exams > “Exam name” Setup
- Edit the exam score
- For exams where forms have different scores edit this from the Exam Design page under the form settings
- Edit the intro text, NDA, and any other fields as needed
- Edit the exam score
- Edit the exam form(s) as needed
Create a new exam version
- From Exams > Exams > "Exam name" > Versions
- Click the "Create New" button
- Add a name for the version and click the "Save" button
Amend the exam version on events
An exam event requires that an exam version be assigned to it. The assigned exam version will be used to determine which sections, items, tools, exhibits, and general settings that are presented to candidates. After creating a new exam version, you can amend the event's current version from the Deliver tab of the exam you're working on or from the main Events listing. Exam changes are not live until the new version is amended on the event. After this, the next candidate to begin testing will receive the updated version.
- From Exams > Exams > "Exam name" > Deliver
- To amend the version, click the actions dropdown icon (three dots) next to the event
- Click the Amend Version action from the actions dropdown list
- Select the version from the dropdown list and click the Save button
Exam QC review
We strongly recommend completing a QC review of every exam form following the steps below.
Important: If you have candidates actively testing on your event you should create a QC event and review the form there instead of on the live event. The best way to do this is by copying the existing event so that the settings/notification are the same.
- Register a test user
- Click the 3 dot action menu and click "Unlock" (to test without proctoring)
- Follow the exam review instructions below
- After submitting your exam stop accessing as the test user and return to the Register page
- Trigger the results email
- Click on the user’s registration and manually change the status to Exam Under Review, save and close
- Click the three dot action menu next to your registration and choose “Finalize exam results”
- This sets the reg to a “Scored” status for you and triggers the results email to send
- Review the email in your inbox and confirm that the score report looks correct
- Remove the test registration
- Click on the registration and set the status to “No show” and save
- Click the three dots and choose “Remove” this will add a negative usage credit so that you are not charged for the registration
- If edits are needed
- Make edits in the item bank
- Save and publish all item changes
- Upgrade the items on all exam forms
- Create a new exam version
- Amend the version on the event
- Repeat the last round of QC
