Previewing assessments

While you are creating or modifying an assessment, you can view the question text, answers, and feedback on the assessment’s Canvas page. However, you may want to preview the assessment to see it exactly as the students will when they take and then review it.

As you preview the assessment, you can make sure you want to use any assessment options you set. For example, you may have set the presentation mode to display a single question at a time. Or you may have set the feedback option to allow students to see their answers and final score, but not the correct answers when they review their tests.

Note: Before you can preview an assessment, you must add it to a content area. You can, however, preview a TestGen test from the TestGen Manager, regardless of whether it has been added to a content area.

  2. Click OK to take (preview) the assessment. (For TestGen tests, read the on-screen instructions and click Take Test.)
