Edit a test assigned by location and grade

Data Package: Online Testing

Role: Account Holder, Administrator, or Teacher

The following rules apply to test assignments in DataManager:

Test assignments are created within the larger structure of a test event. They assign a location, mode of testing, test form, and test level to one or more grades of students within the larger test event parameters.
Once a test session has been opened for the test assignment, the assignment cannot be changed.
Once students begin testing in an assigned mode (online or paper-pencil), they must complete the test in that mode or start over and complete the entire assessment using only one mode.
Assignments can be overridden if individual students require separate, custom assignments. Subsequent edits made to location- and grade-based assignments have no impact on a student override. If you delete the student override test, that student reverts back to the group assignment.

To edit a test assignment:

1. Access the Test Assignment Overview page. You can do this from any page on the platform. Below are some common ways.

From any page, click the Assessments menu, then Test Assignments.

Click the Assessments menu, then Test Assignments from the drop-down

OR: From the Test Events Overview page, click Assign under Actions in the row of the test event.

From the Test Events Overview page, click Assign

OR, to edit or confirm details for a test event first:

2. Click the Manage link in the row of the assignment you want to edit.

The Test Assignment details page opens for the selected assignment. The top portion lists assignment-level information and actions you can perform on the assignments themselves. The bottom portion lists the students rostered for the upcoming assessment and allows you to perform individual-level overrides to the group assignment.

3. Click the Edit button.

The Edit Assignment details page opens. You can make changes to any of the available fields as long as no test sessions have been opened for this assignment.

Depending on your test group, you will see the following editable fields.

For Iowa Assessments:

For CogAT test assignments, an additional Battery field.

Note: If you are creating a test assignment for one of the six additional audio languages (see Language Settings), use:
- Alt Verbal for CogAT Complete
- Alt-V/Languages only for CogAT Screening
- For grades K-2, Alt Verbal rather than Verbal.

4. Make your edits to the test assignment and click Save.

A confirmation message appears across the top of the page.
