There are a variety of reasons you may need to change an existing test, including making adjustments for a new school year. To change the content of a test, make modifications to the form(s) that were used to build the test. For a form that has already been administered, make a copy to use for future tests so that reporting is not impacted. After any edits to the form are complete, the next step is to add it to a new test and publish so it can be scheduled as an administration.
If you have accommodation forms, be sure to make any needed edits on those as well.
- Go to Authoring > Forms.
- Select the appropriate Bank.
