Test options

Options	Description
Test Variation

Shuffle multiple choice answers	Randomly orders the answers in multiple-choice questions Enabled by default
Allow variables to regenerate in algorithmic questions	For algorithmically generated questions, generates new variables each time the question is presented Enabled by default
Deliver subset of randomly selected questions Number of questions to include in each test Total point value for subset of questions	Includes a randomly selected set of questions from the test each time the test is taken Disabled by default Note: Your students must be using Version 3.0 or higher of the TestGen plug-in for this option to apply.
Test Session
Set time limit Maximum minutes allowed Warn student when remaining minutes	Enforces a limit on the amount of time a student can spend taking the test Disabled by default Note: The TestGen test is automatically submitted to the CourseCompass gradebook when the time limit is up, whether or not the student has completed the test.
Allow students to take this test more than once	Permits students to take the test as many times as they want for as long as the test is available Disabled by default Important: Unless you enable this option, you should notify your students beforehand that they have one opportunity to take the test. Once students click the test link, CourseCompass regards that as a test-taking attempt—even if the student does not complete the test. Students do not receive a warning message that they have one opportunity to take the test when they click the link to take the test.
Require students to enter a password to access this test	Lets you specify a case-sensitive password students must enter before they are allowed into the test
Test Presentation
Display test in tutorial mode	Enables students to take practice tests that give them feedback after each question; students answer a question, then click Check to see whether they answered correctly Note: Your students must be using Version 3.0 or higher of the TestGen plug-in to report tutorial results to the gradebook.
Test Review
Cannot see score or review test	Prevents students from viewing their test results and reviewing the test
Can see score but cannot review test	Lets students view their test results but not review the test Enabled by default
