Assign a student override

Data Package: Online Testing

Role: Account Holder, Administrator, or Teacher

 

Assignments can be overridden if individual students require separate, custom assignments.

 

After you assign an override to a student, edits made to location- and grade-based assignments have no impact on that student's assignment. If you delete the student's override, that student reverts back to the group assignment.

 

You can change an individual student's test group and level using the student override feature.

 

To assign a student override:

1. Access the Test Assignment details page.

  • If you have just created a test assignment and are viewing the Test Assignment Assign by Location and Grade page, click the View link in the row of the assignment for which you want to create a student override.

  • Otherwise:

a. From any page, select the Assessments menu, then the Test Assignments link. The Test Assignments Overview page opens. Information for the most recently created test event appears in the Assignments table.

b.   Ensure that the test event selected in the TEST EVENT drop-down field is the correct one. If it is not, select the test event that includes the assignment to which the student belongs.

Test event selection list

 

All current assignments for the selected test event are listed below the TEST EVENT drop-down field.

 

Note: You must have created at least one test event and one test assignment to proceed with a student override. See Create a test event and Assign a test by location and grade.

 

c. In the Actions column, click the Manage link for the test assignment that includes the student.
