Access the Test Library

The Test Library serves as a repository of tests on your organization's Webex Training website. In the Test Library, you can do the following:

  • Create, edit, duplicate, or delete a test

  • Import a poll or test questionnaire, with an .atp or .wxt file extension, and convert it to a test

  • Copy your tests to the Shared Tests section so other training hosts can access the tests

  • Copy shared tests to the Private Tests section. The tests you create or import appear here.

From the left navigation bar on your site, select Host a Session > Test Library.

Create a New Test

You can create a test in the Test Library or create a test and then add it to a scheduled training session.

To save you time in scoring, Webex Training automatically checks attendees' answers against the correct answers you specify. You must specify answers for all question types except Essay. Once you start a test, you cannot change the questions or answers. Ensure that the answers are correct before you start the test or the scoring is incorrect. For details, see Score and Grade Answers for a Test.

Score and Grade Answers for a Test

Webex Training automatically checks attendees' answers against the correct answers you specified when creating the test and then scores the results.

An entire test is scored automatically if it contains no essay or fill-in-the-blanks questions. In this case, attendees can view test results once they submit their answers.

If a test contains essay or fill-in-the-blanks questions, review and score the test. A complete score is unavailable until you finish scoring the essay or fill-in-the-blanks questions.

1

Do one of the following:

  • From the Session Information page, select Score & Report.

  • From the Manage Test page, in the Student Answers section, select View and Score Answers.

The Submitted Tests page lists attendees who have submitted their tests and attendees who have received their scores and grades, if assigned. You can also view the questions and grading scale, if specified.

2

To score an attendee's test, select the Score Answers link for the attendee or select the attendee's name.

The Score Submitted Answers page appears. All answers, except for essay questions, are automatically scored. A partial score appears in the Results area. Although fill-in-the-blanks answers are scored automatically, you may want to review them and change the scores, if necessary.

3

Review the essays or fill-in-the-blanks answers that need manual scoring, and specify the scores for the essays.

  • To quickly go to a question that needs manual scoring, go to the Unscored questions section, choose a question in the drop-down list, and select Go.

  • To change the score for a fill-in-the-blanks answer, select correct or incorrect for the question. Selecting Save updates the score.

(Optional) Type comments for the attendee.

5

Select Save to update the score or your comments.

The test results are updated on the View Test Results page. If you have specified to send grade reports to attendees, the attendee receives the update by email.
