I was able to edit the test add questions delete questions activate the test that was not a problem. The article was not helpful because I still need my students to type their answers into the blank and it won't allow them. I had to print off a paper copy. However in the future I want to be able to use the online test. Please help me figure out how for them to type. Thank you
When you choose test question type Fill in the Blank, it is expecting you to provide a list of possible answers and the student will fill in the blank with one of those options. This is used mostly in lower grades where more prompting is needed. What you probably want to do is make those same questions Open Response. The students put in their own words then you would grade their responses.
Is there a way to modify only certain student's test? Some of my students receive certain modifications during testing. I was wondering if I could eliminate some of the multiple choice answers to allow certain students to have fewer choices. Thank you!
No, there is not at this time a way to modify for only certain students. However, what some teachers have done is modify the test, have certain students take it, then reset the test and have everyone else take it. The modifications are temporary - as in you won't have them for next year, but it might work for you.
