| Info |
|---|
A Test created in HuskyCT must be Deployed, or added to a content location (Content Area, Content Folder, or Learning Module) in your course site, in order to set the test options. |
Accessing the Test Options Menu
Hover over the link with the Test title.
Click on the gray down arrow.
Select Edit Test Options. If Edit Test Options is not in the menu, it may be a Course Link instead of a direct link to the Test.
Managing Test Options
Make Link Available
Default: No
Must be Yes for students to take the test. The availability period can be date restricted elsewhere.
| Note |
|---|
Even if you set “display after/display until” farther down on the Test Options page, this main availability setting must be set to “Yes” in order for the test to become available to students. If this is set to “No” students will not be able to see or access the test regardless of the display after or display until settings you set. |
Number of Attempts
Default: 1 Attempt
To allow more than one attempt, check the Multiple Attempts box and indicate Unlimited, or enter a specific number of attempts.
| Note |
|---|
For multiple attempts, instructors need to specify which attempt score appears in the Grade Center column. Instructors can choose to have the First, Last, Average, Lowest, or Highest score display. Default is set to Last. To modify this setting,

Force Completion
Default: No
Recommended: NO FORCE COMPLETION
If Checked: Students cannot re-enter a test if it closes whether on purpose or due to a technical problem.
If Unchecked: Students can re-enter a test if it closes, but only if the test is still available (i.e., the display period has not ended and the allotted time from the start of the test has not expired).
...
Default: No
Recommended: Time limit with Auto-Submit ON
Check the box to enter a time limit.
Change Auto-Submit to ON to enforce the time limit.
| Info |
|---|
Setting a time limit without Auto-Submit allows students to keep working and submissions past the time limit will not be graded automatically. The instructor must view attempts and re-submit for the grade to be recorded. |
...
Default: None
Display dates control the visibility of the link to the test as well as the appearance of the test column in My Grades. Check appropriate boxes to enter start and/or end dates.
| Info |
|---|
Display Until date ends visibility of test link and if that test is not taken by a student, the test will not appear in My Grades after the Display Until date. |
...
Test Availability Exceptions
Default: None
This setting is most commonly used to provide an accommodation for extra time for one or more students.
Click Add User or Group and browse for the student. Additional students must be added separately unless they are placed in a group.
Current test settings will display. Adjust as needed. The most frequently applied change is extending the allotted time.
| Info |
|---|
This combination of settings allows students in the exceptions space to take the exam as suchunless the option to not allow students to take the test after the due has passed is checked. In order to allow availability exceptions past the due date, turn off the setting to prevent students from taking the test after the due date. If that setting is off but there is still a due date, turn off the due date setting altogether. Students who take the the test after the due date will have Late marked as a notation to their attempt. For this reason, you may decide to remove the due date entirely. Additionally, test availability can be modified to deny access to the exam to any students not included in the availability exceptions. |
...
Include… must be checked, and will be checked, by default.
Hide Results… must be unchecked.
Show Test Results and Feedback to Students
Default: After Submission and Score per Question
The default settings shown below will result in students seeing each test question and the score obtained for that question as soon as they submit their test and then afterward using My Grades.
| Note |
|---|
Unchecking the Score per Question box will limit score results to total test score, but to prevent students from seeing the total test score, you also need to set the test column in the Grade Center to Hide from Users. |

Show the questions a student answered incorrectly or partially incorrectly. This option appears for tests only. You might choose to show incorrect questions and allow multiple attempts so that students can focus their studying on those areas.

Test Presentation
Default: All at Once
Recommended: Weigh the pros and cons of each option to determine which setting is most appropriate for your needs.
All at Once: Easier navigation and faster, but using a scroll wheel has the potential to change answers. Usually fewer complications overall.
One at a Time: Moving to the next question saves answers and makes question copy/print less likely but is slower, and students may not be familiar with navigation between questions. This results in behaviors (multiple clicks on next or use of browser back button) that can cause test freezing and other problems.
Randomize Questions: Easy way to randomize order for questions added individually to test but should not be used with tests where the order of question presentation is important.
Prohibit Backtracking: Potential for additional problems when using “one at a time.” Generally not recommended.
...
All at Once presentation results in fewer issues while taking a test.
If questions are delivered One at a Time, do not Prohibit Backtracking.
If there are no Question Sets or Random Blocks, then you can check Randomize Questions. If test questions were added in Question Sets or Random Blocks, do not select Randomize Questions.
