Accessing the Assessment 

Step One 

Sign into Edulastic and you should see your Assignments Page or your Teacher Dashboard. In order to access the assessment you wish to edit, expand the menu on the left-hand side of the screen and select "Test" from the menu. 

Step Two

You will be redirected to the Test Library. You will notice that there are most likely filters already set (these are based on your grade level, standards in your profile, etc.). If you are having trouble finding your assessment at any time select "CLEAR ALL" at the top of the filters menu. 

There are a variety of pathways to access assessments that depend on assessment ownership.

• If you are trying to edit an assessment you created select "Created by Me". 
• If you are trying to access an assessment that a colleague made and added you as an author select "I am an Author". 
• If you are trying to edit an assessment that was shared with you via email or a link click "Shared with Me". 

When you have located the assessment click the test image and a window will appear. Select "Edit" as shown in the image below. 

Editing the Test Details 

Step One

If you need to edit any of the test details such as test name, grade, tags, test image, etc. click the "Description" tab at the top of your screen. Here you will be able to make whatever changes you need to.

Step Two 

If you have not published your test or you need to make other edits you will need to save your changes. Click the "Save" button as shown here. 

If this is the only change you need to make to your assessment you will need to publish these changes as well. Select the "Publish" button as shown here

Editing Assessment Items/Questions 

Step One 

When you are in the assessment you need to edit be sure to click on the "Review" tab. This will show you all the items on the assessment. 

Step Two 

Click on the item you wish to edit and a Preview window will appear. In the top right-hand corner, you will see the "Edit" button. Click the "Edit" button as shown below. 

Please note: If you added the item directly from the item bank you will most likely not be able to edit it. You will most likely have to create the item yourself if you wish to edit it. 

Step Three

You will be redirected to the question editor. Here you can change the question, point value, answer choices, etc. When you have made all the necessary edits click "Save" 

Reordering or Removing Items/Questions

1. The first is the drag and drop method. Simply grab the question that you want to reorder and drag it to the desired location
2. The second method is to select the question, click Reorder Selected at the top, and then enter a new location.

Step Three 

If you wish to remove questions select the question using the check box and click "Remove Selected" at the top of the screen.

Changing Point Values

If you wish to change a question's point value you can do so while authoring a new question, or editing a previously created question.
