Print Test with Answer Key

This option lets you generate a test and answer key for use in the classroom when computers are not available.

• A test will be generated from the database and presented on the screen.
  • The test displays itself in a new window.
  • To print, use the browser print options. If you want to modify the test before you print it, or if you want to enter page breaks so that individual questions are not on two pages, use Edit> Select All and Edit > Copy. Then open your word processor, such as Microsoft Word, and Edit > Paste it into a new document. Here you can make any modifications you want, check spelling, and enter page breaks.
    • When printing from the browser, you can turn off the Window Title and Page Address in IE by clicking File Menu > Page Setup. Clear the Header and Footer boxes.
• Under the Title and Subtitle are 3 optional lines where you can put the name of your school, the teacher's name, and request the student's name. If they are left blank, the lines disappear from the top of the test.
  • To give maximum space for the student name at the top, type Name: ________________ on line 2.
• The number of questions that display for printing at one time is set in Advanced Features under "Test Options". See DISPLAY QUESTIONS on screen [?] at a time.
• Spaces between questions can be optionally added so the pages are printed without splitting questions. This assumes you are using the browser to print the tests. It is not necessary if you copy and past the test into your work processor.
• Borders can be included to emphasize questions. All font and border colors black.
• If you select to Print answer sheet, the answers to the test will be displayed in a second window on TOP of the test. Print it and then close it. You do not need to copy and paste it into your word processor.
• Question Types 7, 8, & 9 can be displayed for printing in two formats:
  1. Student enters the letter that matches correct answers. This is the default.
  2. Student writes in the correct answer. To select this option, check the Write in Answers box.
