Giving Online Tests or Study Guides at Home

Note: There are two ways to give an online test at home. 1. Test Player can be used at home and the
test will have the limitations you set up using Test Manager, but the grades cannot be automatically
imported into Test Manager. The student will have to print his or her results and bring them to school or
copy them and email the results to the teacher. 2. (Better) Using an html file. In this format the results
are automatically sent to the teacher. The grades will still not automatically import into Test Manager.
Both ways will be explained.

Giving an Online Test or Study Guide at Home Using HTML Format.

1. Create the test or study guide in ExamView Test Generator.


2. When finished, click File, then Export,
then HTML.
3. You will have the option of giving this
as a study guide or a test. A study
guide will not email the results to the
teacher, a test will.
4. Simply choose the option you want
and save it in an easily accessible
location like the Desktop or My
Documents.
5. You can either post it on a website for
students to access or email it to them
as an attachment. Either way, the
results will be emailed to the teacher
upon completion.

Giving an Online Test at Home Using ExamView Test Player

1. The student must download Test Player at home using the following link:
http://www.fscreations.com/download_trials.php
2. Create the test following the steps above for giving tests on a local area network.
3. Email the students the test saved in Test Manager once you create the
assignment. Make sure the file ends in .eot or Test Player will not recognize it.
This is the format created for an assignment in Test Manager.
4. Students will need to save the attachment (test) on their Desktop or My
Documents. When they open Test Player they will need to browse to the
Desktop or My Documents to find the file.
5. The test will have all the time limits, etc. that you set up for the test in Test
Manager. When they finish, they will need to print the results and bring them in
or copy them and email them to the teacher. They will not be sent automatically.
