Activate the Test

 

In the General Settings, the Status setting activates or disables the test. For a respondent to take the SLPT:

  • The test status must be Active
  • The status of the group that the respondent is assigned to must be Active (valid password and test period)
  • The group's institution must have a valid and Active subscription
  • If the test is non-adaptive, it must contain at least one approved item
  • If the test is adaptive, it must contain at least one calibrated item (Approved item set to Yes with a value in the Difficulty field)

If the status of the test, the group, or the subscription is set to Blocked, respondents will not be able to log into the Testing module.

To configure the general settings of a test:

  1. In the General Settings section, make sure that the Status option is Active.
  2. Confirm that the address in the Invoicing email field is the person responsible for sending invoices to the subscribers.
  3. In the Test presentation text field, enter the test presentation text that appears when a respondent connects to the Testing module. This text presents the general guidelines of the test.
  4. Select whether the test is adaptive or non-adaptive by clicking the appropriate Adaptive test option: Yes or No. The default value is No. The type of test selected determines the testing mode for all respondents.
  5. To continue configuring the test, go to the help section that represents the option selected in step 4:
