5. A screen will appear that shows you all of the questions in the test bank.
Select which questions that you want on your assessment by clicking the checkbox on the left. In the lower right corner, you will see how many questions you have selected for your assessment. When you are finished selecting your questions, click FINISH.
6. CONGRATULATIONS! You have created a professionally formatted
assessment that is aligned to your standards. If you want to only use pencil and paper, then click FILE, PRINT. If you want to print off different versions of your test or scramble the questions and/or answers, you can choose that here. Make sure you choose to print the answer strip!
7. Save your test file for later use. Click, FILE, PRINT. We recommend creating a folder in your documents folder called Examview Tests to save all of your test files in.
If you want to use the test in conjunction with CPS or as an online resource – read on!

To export an Examview test to use with CPS: 1. Click FILE, EXPORT, CPS. This will create a file with a .xml extension.
Save this to your desktop or in your documents folder. 2. Open CPS. Click the IMPORT/EXPORT button, then click IMPORT FROM
EXAMVIEW XML. Browse until you find your file you created in step 1. Then click OPEN. This will import your file directly into CPS. NOTE: make sure you preview your test questions in CPS before using it with students. Sometimes you may have to adjust the font size.

If you want to use your Examview Test as an online resource (web page): 1. Before you get into Examview—In your sites folder in your home directory,
create a folder called “examview”. To create a folder, click FILE, NEW FOLDER.
2. In Examview: Click FILE, EXPORT, HTML. 3. Choose either to export as a study guide or export as a test.
Note: a study guide will allow the student to keep taking the test over and they see immediate feedback, rationale and their score. The score does not come to you. If you export as a test, the student takes the “test”, receives the result (if you allow it), then the results get emailed to you from Examview.com. Please be aware that sometimes the emails come in marked as junk, so if you have your filtering option turned on, it may be in your junk folder.

4. This will create a file with a .htm extension and a folder with the same name.
Save these files to your examview folder within your sites folder. 5. Your weblink is ready to go! The link that you will use is:
http://www.southgateschools.com/~username/examview/filename.htm The only thing that will change is the name of your “test” (the .htm file) when you replicate this process. You can either use this link in ecampus in a multi-media activity or use the link from your website.
