Distributing Assessments

You distribute an assessment by creating one or more test groups. A test group will group results together. For example, an instructor may want to create a test group for a fall term and then another test group for the spring term.

Each test group gives you a unique link to share for respondents to access your assessment. Test groups also offer a number of settings you can apply to an assessment such as:

  • Randomizing question order.
  • Setting a time limit.
  • Showing correct answers after each question.
  • And more...

Create a Test Group

Navigate to an assessment and click Test Groups / Scores. (If your assessment doesn't have any test groups yet, you'll also see a blue banner inviting you to create your first test group.)

Click Create Test Group.

On the new test group screen, you’ll see the share links for the pre- and post-test. Send these links to your students / respondents. Respondents will access the assessment using this link.

They will need to enter an email, passcode, or login with a Google account to access the test.
