How do I preview an assessment (i.e., test or quiz)?

Updated on

You can preview an assessment either by using the Preview option in the Action menu, or by viewing the site as a student and submitting the assessment.

Note: If you use the Preview option to preview an assessment, you will not be able to submit the assessment or see how feedback displays for your students.

Go to Tests & Quizzes.

You'll be able to walk through a preview of your assessment, but you won't be able to submit the assessment from this preview.

Note: The assessment preview will be identified with the following text: "Assessment Preview -  This preview provides an approximate view of the layout of the assessment for students."

Tip: If you'd like to be able to grade your own submission to the test as an instructor, you'll need to submit the test after logging in with a fake "demo student" account. Often, instructors will enroll a fake "demo student" account in the site so that they can log in as that user to submit items and practice grading them.
