Creating Test Trees in Tree Manager
The Create Test Tree process creates test trees based on the information that you enter in the Test Catalog. The system then uses the structure of a test tree to calculate test grades for students.
This section discusses how to:
Create a test tree.
Validate test trees.
View tree validation results.

Definition |
---|---|
Test ID |
Enter the calculated result that will be the root node of the tree. The system creates the tree using the tests and other calculated results that you linked to this calculated result on the Test Set page. Only those test IDs for which a user has access based on academic organization security are available. |
Effective Date |
Enter the effective date of the test tree. Assigning the test tree an effective date enables the user to record different versions of calculated results. |

The test structure TEST_ADMIN is delivered with the product. If you create additional tree structures, they must be set up exactly like the TEST_ADMIN structure. |
Tree Name |
Enter a name for the test tree. |
