The Test Manager is used to create, modify, and remove Tests. Instructors can create Tests to check the knowledge and skill level of the users enrolled in the course. Tests permit the Instructor to assign point values to each question on exams or quizzes. Student answers are submitted for grading, and the results are recorded in the Gradebook.
Note: Surveys include many of the same features and functions as Tests. Differences between the two are noted throughout this section. Surveys are managed through the Survey Manager, which functions in the same was as the Test Manager.
To open the Test Manager, click Test Manager in the Assessment area on the Course Control Panel.

Below are questions to consider when planning an Assessment:
· How many questions will this Assessment contain?
· Are there instructions that will be included with this Assessment?
· What type of questions will this Assessment contain?
· What is the point value associated with each question?
The following warning will appear if any Students are in the process of taking the Test or have already taken the Test when Modify is selected. Certain areas of the Test will not be available for modification if the Test has already been taken by Students.
If the Instructor modifies an Assessment after a Student has submitted it, the Student will view the new, modified Assessment when they view their grade and feedback. They will not view the original Assessment they took.
