All you have to do first is click on Make a Test. Then you have another screen to pop up.
Type in a name for your test and create a password. Be sure to keep the password because you can't retrieve it if you happen to forgt it. Then click on Continue.
This is the control panel where you can adjust settings, add questions, publish the test, and view reports. On this page you will also be given your URL. Don't lose it. You must use that URL to come back to this page after you leave the site. There is no other way to get back here! This page allows you to do the following:
Change the quiz name, description and what happens after the quiz is graded.
Add questions. It's not much of a test if it doesn't have questions.
You have to publish your test before data for the reports is collected.
Click on the Questions tab at the top.
Now you begin to type in your questions. You can choose either multiple choice, true/false, multiple rersponse (where more than one answer can be chosen) and fill in the blanks. I don't use the last one because a mispelled word will be marked as incorrect. Write as many questions as you like. Be sure to assign them whatever point value you desire. I always check Shuffle Answers unless it is a "all of the above" or "none of the above" type question. Why? Because if two students are taken the tests on two computers side by side, the answers are shuffled. This cuts down on cheating. Also when different computers are used such as in a computer lab, the questions themselves are shuffled. I really like this. When finished click on the Publish tab.
Once your students click on the test's URL that you give them, this is what they first see. Have them type in their name and the four digit number you were given earlier. This will allow them to take the test.
Here is a sample of an actual test that I made for my Arts and Technology class. They carefully answer all of the questions. They can make changes at any time. When finished they click on the Submit button at the bottom of the test. Once this is done they can not go back and change any answers; however, they will be able to immediately see their grade as well as see which answers they got correct and which ones them missed.
After the students have completed the test I can also click on the test link but I click on the Admin Login. Here I type in my password. Then I can see the results of the test. I just click on Reports and this is what I see.
Here I can see each student's grade, how long he/she spent on it and whether he/she took it more than once. It happens!!!! But scroll farther down and you'll see more.
This is my favorite feature, the Question Grid. Here I can see just how many students missed each question. If a question was missed by too many students I know that I shoud review or retest this information.
Well, that's it. If you haven't checked out Testmoz yet, I hope you will. I'm sure you really enjoy it.
