# Create a Test
Teachers can create electronic tests that can be pushed to Students and taken on their computers. Test questions can be formatted as True/False, Multiple Choice, Essay, or Fill in the Blanks, or any combination of these. Teachers can optionally time the test, show results to Students and export the results to a .csv file.
1. Select at least one Student.
2. Click *Assess*.
3. Click *Create Test*.
4. Enter a name for the test.
5. Select *Adaptive Test* to make the test an adaptive one. Refer to [Adaptive Test](#adaptive-test).
6. Start building your test by dragging the type of test from the right pane to the center.\
\
For each type of test, you can collapse and expand the questions, add images to the test questions by selecting *Add an Image to This Question* and clicking *Upload*.\
\
For non-adaptive tests: Add the weightage to each test question up to a total of 100% for the entire test. For example, if you have set 40% to the multiple choice question, this will carry 40% weightage in the final result.\
\
For adaptive tests: Select the level of difficulty (between 1 to 10) for each question. Add the weightage to each test question up to a total of 100% for the entire test.
* **Multiple Choice Format**\
For Multiple Choice questions, enter your question, configure the answer options and select the correct one/s. You have the option to allow a single or multiple correct answers. Click *+Add Option* to add more options for the Students to choose from.
* **Essay Format**
For Essay questions, enter your question and set a word range limit between 100 to 999 if preferred.
* **True/False Format**
For True/False questions, enter your question and set the correct answer. You can also allow Students to add an explanation for their responses and set a word range limit between 100 to 999 words.
* **Fill in the Blanks**
For Fill in the Blanks questions, enter your question and provide the correct answer in the *Answer* field. To add a blank space where the answer is to be written, click *Add Blank*, or alternatively, type in a single underscore (\_) character.
7. Click *Export Test, Import, Reset Weightage* to reset the weightage of each test, *Save Test* or *Save and Launch Test*.
## Adaptive Test
An adaptive test is a type of assessment that adjusts its level of difficulty based on the Students’ performance as they proceed through the test.
Unlike non-adaptive tests, adaptive tests will result in a different set of test questions for each Student based on how well they answered the earlier question.
The adaptive test will start off with a question of a moderate difficulty. The succeeding questions will adjust based on the responses of the Students. Correct answers lead to more difficult questions (test questions marked as higher level); incorrect answers lead to easier questions (test questions marked as lower level).
