Test Detail

Test Actions

• Copy Test: Takes you to the Create Manual Test page where you can edit and save a copy of the existing test. All questions, answers, points, standards, and other settings that were used on the other test are copied. If the test you copied was linked to an assignment in a LMS, the copy will not be linked, but you can link it at a later time. Click Generate Test to create a private draft of the copied test. If you want to reschedule a completed test, make a copy of the test and schedule the copy.
• Export Test: Export this test for transfer to another system, which allows it to be shared and re-used. Only Schoolnet authored, complete tests, with complete test items are eligible for export. Tests that contain items with any critical alerts cannot be exported. Answer key only tests cannot be exported. The type of equation editor selected for student responses is preserved on export.
• Force Publication: Publish the test from Schoolnet to TestNav to ensure the test is the same in both systems. This link is only available to users with the Force publication operation, which is limited to leaders and system operators. This is the same functionality as the Publish to TestNav button at the top of the page, but is available so that a test can be published if needed when the normal publication options are not available. Do not republish a test while students are currently taking it. If a test is currently being published, it cannot be republished until the process is complete. The action is available only when the level at which the operation is assigned (school or district) matches the level of the test. This means that principals can't force publication of district tests.
• Delete this test: Test owners can completely remove the test from the system. This option is not available for In Process tests.
• View Audit Log: System operators and users who have rights to schedule or modify a test can view an audit log of changes made to the test after it is scheduled. This link is available only for test categories that are configured to use audit logging. The audit log lists the date, the action that was taken, and the user who made the change. Actions that are logged include publishing the test; saving test items, passages, and rubrics; modifying the test assignment; and saving the test schedule (whether or not changes were made). Changes to test instructions and adding or removing associated resources are not logged.
• Preview Answer Sheets: Generates a sample PDF answer sheet you can verify before scheduling the test. This link is available only when a test is in Private or Public Draft. The sample answer sheet shows "Do Not Scan" in place of the QR code, includes a PREVIEW watermark across the page, and uses gray text. The test name and ID will appear, but no other real data, such as student or teacher information, will appear.
• Answer Sheets: Generates a PDF answer sheet you can download and print. Answer sheets are pre-slugged with the student name, teacher name, school name, test information, and answer bubbles. The answer sheet may contain a Teacher Use Only section for teachers to add comments for students and parents on open response questions. The zip file and answer sheets use the following filenames: TestID_answersheet.zip and TestID_answersheet1of2.pdf.
• Score Test: Add or edit test scores for an individual student or section. The option to score a test may be not be available depending on your roles and operations or restrictions that have been applied to the test.
• Scan Answer Sheets: Open the Answer Sheet Scanning solution to scan answer sheets for assessments that are Scheduled or In Progress. Only scanning with document cameras is supported. This link appears only if Answer Sheet Scanning is used in your system. The link may be grayed out if Answer Sheet Scanning is not enabled for the assessment you are viewing.
• View Usernames: Click to search for students who have been assigned to take the test. The Student Name, Student ID, User Name, and Password are shown.
• Track Accommodations: Click to view accommodations assigned when a student completed the test. This option becomes available after a test is Scheduled, In Progress, or Completed. See Track Accommodations for details. This option will appear if you have the View Track Accommodations operation, are a teacher with active sections, or for tests you create and administer (the operation is not needed in the last two cases).
• Preview Test as Student: Preview the test to see it as a student will. Only the accommodations selected for the assessment or items will appear. If a warning symbol appears next to the preview link, there are one or more compatibility issues with TestNav. Click the link to see the list of issues. In preview, you can enter answers and verify that scoring works correctly.
• Generate Text to Speech: Click the link to start the Text to Speech conversion process for tests so that you can preview tests that use the Text to Speech accommodation (the link will not appear if the Text to Speech test property is not enabled in Test Properties). If you do not generate Text to Speech content now, it will be generated when the test is published to TestNav. This process can take several minutes, so it is best to wait until the test is ready for students before running this process. You will not be able to preview the test while the process is running. You will receive a notification when the process is complete, and the action link will change to "Text to Speech content is ready". If you change the question content during or after the Text to Speech conversion, the "Generate Text to Speech" link will reappear and you will need to run the conversion process again. The link will be disabled if the test is in the Scheduled or In Progress state; republishing will automatically regenerate Text to Speech content. DO NOT republish a test while students are currently taking a test or errors may occur.
• Student Test Booklet: Download the student test booklet in PDF or .DOCX (Word) format to print for offline testing. Tests containing images and technology-enhanced items, such as drag and drop, can be printed for students who do not have access to a computer.
• Scoring Instructions: Download instructions for scoring open response test items.
• Cover sheet: Print a cover sheet. This action is not available for tests with technology-enhanced items.

• Download Results: State and district system operators can download the test and student data in CSV format, which allows the data to be utilized by third-party analysis software. Access to this feature is dependent upon your user role. You can verify your roles and operations by clicking My Account and checking the Roles and Operations tab.
• Upload Statistics: State and district system operators can upload the test and student data in CSV format, which allows the data to be viewed from within the system.
