Creating a test

Creating a test is similar to creating a chapter. When added to your title, a test is displayed in the Title Explorer as a new chapter following the currently selected chapter. A Page 1 and a Last test page will be added by default to the test.

Standard navigation buttons (Cancel, Back, Next, and Done) are automatically added to the pages of your test. You can remove these controls and add your own custom navigation, if desired.

The Done button that is added to the test's last page is programmed with the Submit/Process Test action. This action is necessary at the end of the test so the results will be submitted and the appropriate completion action is taken. If you add your own custom navigation to the test, the button on the last page of the test that navigates users out of the test must have this action. If you later randomize your test, the Done button should be removed and replaced with the same button used to navigate forward within the test.

Additional pages can be inserted, and questions can then be added to the pages of the test.

You can also create tests by importing questions from a comma-separated value (CSV) file. For details, see Importing and exporting a CSV question file.

To create and add a test:

1. In the Title Explorer, select the page after which you want the test to appear.

2. Do one of the following:

• From the Test & Survey ribbon, click Test from the Add Test or Survey group

• Type Ctrl+6

• Select Add Test from the Quick Insert group on the Home ribbon

The test is added to the title and the Test Properties ribbons (Properties, Behavior, and Results) and the Action ribbon are highlighted.
