Tips for Taking Tests

You may be excited/exhausted or just in a hurry to get to your next class. After you click on Save All Answers at the bottom of your screen, remember to hit Save and Submit when you are finished. If you do not Save and Submit, your instructor will see you are still in progress. Do not close the browser window or navigate to another site until you see the confirmation page. AFTER THE TEST: 1. What does Needs Grading Mean? There are a couple of reasons you may see “needs grading” in My Grades for your test. If any questions require your instructor to assign a grade individually, such as with short answers or essays, you will initially see an exclamation mark (Needs Grading) instead of your grade. Additionally, if you exceed a specified time limit, the Needs Grading status will also appear in place of a score. 2. Why is Test Feedback Available for some tests and not others? Each instructor makes choices about whether to show feedback and what type of information is available. You may see that the test was submitted, score per question, all possible answer choices, your submitted answers, the correct answers, and/or any textual feedback written into the test. 3. Random Questions and Random Answers Confusing? Instructors have the option to randomize the questions that appear for each student in the test. So, a friend’s question #1 is probably not the same as yours. When going over the test in class with the instructor, pay attention to the question content and not the question number. To make things more confusing, your instructor can also randomize the question answers. So, answer A may be answer C when your friend sees that question. This is all intended to help prevent cheating
