Edit a Test and its Settings

You can edit both a test's questions, and its settings. Changing questions and test settings are made in two different places.

1. To change the test questions (including points per question):
   1. Navigate to the location in the course where the test is deployed.
   2. Click the contextual menu chevron to the right of the test name.
      
      
   3. From the contextual menu chevron select Edit the Test.
      
      
      
      
   4. In Test Canvas you can add, remove, and reorder questions, as well as change the point value for one or all questions.
   5. When you have completed making any changes, click OK.
      
      
2. To change the test options (settings):
   1. Navigate to the location in the course where the test is deployed.
   2. Click the contextual menu chevron to the right of the test name.
   3. From the contextual menu chevron select Edit the Test Options.
      
      
   4. This will allow you to make changes to the test options such as: availability, timer, due date, and feedback. This is also where you can set Text Availability Exceptions, in case you need make a test available to one student after the due date, or if a student has an accommodation to allow them additional time to take a test.
   5. When you have completed your changes, click Submit.

Note that you will not be permitted to make certain changes to a test if some of your students have already completed it. Also, if you make changes to the number of points on a question or questions, all students' grades may change on the test. The Blackboard Help website includes more information on how changes to a test impact grades.
