Administering a Smart Test Prepared in Advance

This article explains how to administer a Smart Test that was created for a student ahead of time.

Overview

Smart Tests can be created and administered at any time.
Depending on your purpose, here are the best ways to create them:

• To create and administer immediately:
  Create the Smart Test directly from the Flashcards page and use Testing Mode.
  (See the related article: Smart Test – Individual Student.)
• To administer to an entire class:
  Create the Smart Test from the Classes page.
  (See the related article: Smart Tests – Class)
• To prepare a test for later (for homework or a future session):
  Create it in advance from the Students page.
  (See the related article: Assigning a Smart Test in Advance)
