Test options recommendations
Before deploying your test, please review the following recommendations:
**_Test Information_**
**Content Link Description**
As part of the description of your test, it is recommended to include:
– Content that the assessment covers.
– Types of questions and how many they will have.
– Time limit.
– Indicate if students have one or multiple attempts.
– Due date and the start and end dates and times.
**Note:** For a better system performance, it is recommended **NOT opening the test in a new window**.
Â
