Tests: Clone a Test

Use the Clone Test page to create a copy of an existing test. Cloning allows you to quickly create a new test using an existing test's configuration, content structure, reporting settings, and program options as a starting point.

Pay attention to the names you give to each of these pieces, as names might contain subtle differences.

Prerequisites:

• Confirm you are signed in as a role with permissions to add tests and publish tests.
• Form(s) are available.

To clone a test:

1. Open the Clone Test Window

   • From the Tests page, select the More Actions menu (⋮) next to a test.
   • Choose Clone to open the Clone Test page.

Classic User Interface:

Updated User Interface:

1. Review the Source Test

   • The original test appears at the top of the page.
   • Verify that you are cloning the correct test before making changes.

2. Update Test Information

   • Enter a unique Test Name for the new test.
   • Enter a unique Test Identifier. This value must be unique within the ADAM tenant.
   • Review the Program, Testing Window, Grade, and Content Area values and update them as needed.

3. Configure Access and Report Dates

   • Set the Actual Access Window start and end dates to determine when the test will be available.
   • Configure the Report Window dates to control when reports can be accessed.
   • Select Review Reports if reports should be available to authorized users.

4. Review Program Objectives

   • Verify the configured reporting objectives, such as:
     • Raw Score
     • Percent Correct
     • Performance Level
   • Adjust objective settings if modifications are required for the new test.

5. Review Performance Levels

   • Verify performance level labels and cut scores.
   • Update labels, descriptions, proficiency indicators, or score ranges as needed.
   • Confirm that the performance levels align with the intended reporting model.

6. Create the Clone

   • Review all settings carefully.
   • Select Clone to create the new test.
   • Select Cancel to exit without creating a copy.

Best Practices

• Use descriptive test names that clearly distinguish the clone from the original test.
• Verify that the Test Identifier is unique before saving.
• Review testing windows and report dates, as cloned tests may inherit values that are no longer appropriate.
• Confirm performance levels and cut scores before using the cloned test in production.
• After cloning, review all test settings to ensure they meet the requirements of the new assessment.
