) Student Aid ][ - EDIT/CREATE TEST - HELP (
\_________________________________________________________/
This is the area where you may edit or create a test. Basically there are
two modes here. The VIEW mode - which allows you to view and scan through
the questions in the test, and the EDIT mode - which allows you to input
information or edit current question/answer information.
When you first entered this area you were presented with a row of gadgets
in the top row - this is the VIEW mode. From here you can scan through the
questions in the test simply by pressing [+] or [-] by clicking the
respective gadget or even by using the [->] and [<-] arrow keys on your
keyboard.
To quickly move to the top, bottom or a certain question you can do so by
selecting the [T]op, [L]ast, [G]oto# gadget/key or by using the Up or Down
arrow keys on your keyboard.
The edit mode is entered when you select either the [M]odify question or
the [A]dd question gadget/key. Once you are in the edit mode you can
continue to enter information until you press the [ESC] key which will
prompt you for the correct answer and then return to VIEW mode.
In addition to the test [A]dd and [M]odify, you can do a single line
modification by pressing the MOUSEBUTTON on the line you wish to modify
while you are in VIEW mode. Pressing [ESC], [RETURN], arrow key or even
a mousebutton will all take you out of line edit and back to VIEW mode.
From the VIEW mode you can also select to EDIT the verbose [W]hy or even
the test [S]ummary information screen by pressing the respecive key or
gadget. Note: There is a different WHY for each question, so it is best
to write some quick info regarding WHY the answer is the way it is in
there. There is only one [S]ummary page which is always displayed upon
exiting the take test area. For optimal effectiveness, this summary page
should contain a table of how to rate performace based on grade %
