Understanding Test Administration Setup

The Test Administration functionality enables institutions to create a catalog of tests, similar to the course catalog. The test catalog consists of tests and calculated results. Calculated results either are the end result of a test or can be used to calculate the average result of multiple tests. Tests can be repeated and the repeat rules that are set for a calculated result tell the system which result to use for calculation. The calculation results can be run by individual student, by program, or by student group.
