How do I use Test Center?

FEATURES AVAILABLE TO ALL USERS:

• Welcome - This first window is mainly intended to show you some quick stats, such as your running average, your class name (if applicable), number of tests completed, etc. In this window are also links to "Log Out", and "Edit Profile".

  It is recommended that you Log Out when you are finished with Test Center.

  "Edit Profile" allows you to change your username, password, e-mail address, first name, and last name. You can also join or leave a class (if you are a student). You must have been given the class password to join a class. If you already joined a class, you cannot join another unless you leave the class you are in.

  Make your changes by filling in the blanks with the information your want, and click on "Update Profile" button to save your changes.

• Notes and Announcements - This window displays announcements made by your instructor and is also a place where you can write quick notes or reminders to yourself.

  To add or edit your notes, click on the "Edit My Notes" link, type your notes in the box provided, and click on the "Update My Notes" button.

• Tests - In this window are all the tests that you can do. To start any test, simply click on the test name, and the test should load into a separate window. There is no limit to the number of times you can do a test, the score from each of your attempts is saved.

  Click on "Modify/Create My Tests" to create new tests, or rename existing tests of yours.

  To rename an existing test, click on the test name in the table, change the name in the "Test Name" blank, and click on the "Update Test" button.

  To create a new test, click on "Random..." or "Custom...". A random test will select questions over a broad range of topics, whereas a custom test will let you choose the percentage of questions that should come from each topic.

  In both types of tests, you choose a Test Name (what you want your test to be known as), and the number of questions that should appear in your test (max 60). If you want the test to start immediately, check the "Start Test Immediately" box, otherwise the test will be created and you will go back to the main page.

  For a custom test, you must also specify the percentage of questions to come from each section. The percentages must add up to 100%. If you want to ensure that certain sections are equally weighted, select Equal% in those sections. If you have any sections set to Equal%, Test Center will automatically determine what percentage of questions should come from that/those section(s).

  Leaving all sections set to Equal% is essentially the same as creating a test using the random form.

• Test History - This window simply shows you the scores of all tests you have started, completed, or abandoned. If you have started at least one test, you can download a more detailed test scores page.

  Printer-Friendly Format - displays a more detailed test scores page in an easy to print format.

  Access/Excel Format - displays a more detailed test scores page in a format that can be imported into Access or Excel. Click on the link, and save the page as an HTML file. You can then import the HTML file into Access or Excel.

• Deadlines - This window lists deadlines, either set by you, or set by your instructor. You can add, edit, or delete deadlines by clicking on the "Edit My Deadlines" link.

  Add a deadline by clicking on the "Add New Deadline" link, filling in the date field (in mm/dd/yyyy format) and typing a description of what the deadline is. Deadline will be added to your profile when you click on the "Post Deadline" button.

  Edit an existing deadline by clicking on the deadline date, changing the date and/or description fields, and clicking on the "Update Deadline" button.

  Delete a deadline by clicking on the appropriate "DEL" link, and choosing "OK" on the pop-up window.
