(Instructor) Adding Instructor Created Questions to a Test

If you need to input your questions into EMSTesting, please refer to our articles on adding your own questions to the school by clicking here.

Note: This article will cover how to pull your questions onto a test once they have already been entered into the program.

 

Adding Instructor made Questions to an Exam: 

1. Login to EMSTesting and select your Instructor role. 

2. Click on the Manage Test link in your red toolbar.

This will bring you to your Test Search page, where you can manage your existing tests or create a new test.

 

3. Click the Create New Test button to create a new test. Alternatively, if you are editing an existing draft, click the edit test button to the right of the test name and title.

  •  New Test: If you are creating a new test, you will be brought to the Test Settings tab for your new test. You will have to fill out the required fields just like you would when creating a test comprised of our Platinum Validated Questions. Once you have entered your settings, you will click Create, which will cause the Question Criteria tab to appear.
  • Note: The provider level of your test must match the provider level that you have assigned to your questions to be able to pull them on to your test.mceclip2.png

 

  • Existing Exam: If you add questions to an existing test, you will not have to fill out the test settings again. You will just need to click on the Question Criteria tab.

 

4.  On the Question Criteria tab, you will see your options to pull questions on to a test. Depending on the way you set up your questions you may find one route easier than the others.

A.  Pull Questions By Curriculum. 

B. Pull From My Active Tests. 

C.  Pull Questions By Test, Keyword, or ID. 

A.  Pull Questions By Curriculum

  • Change the Question Bank drop-down to the appropriate option. If you have added your questions correctly there will be two additional options.
    • My Questions will contain the questions added to your instructor account.
    • My Schools Questions will contain questions added to the program by the active instructors in your school. This option allows you to share questions with the other instructors in your school.
  • Once you have selected your Question Bank and your Curriculum, the numbers to the left of the modules will indicate the number of active questions you have cross-referenced to that module.
    • Note: If these numbers do not reflect the number of questions you have added, there may be a problem with your question's settings, preventing them from being eligible to be added to a test. 
  • Once you are satisfied with your selections, you will click the Save Criteria button and the program will pull the questions on to the Test Questions tab. mceclip3.png

 

 

B.  Pull From My Active Tests:  If you have other tests that already contain your questions you can still utilize Pull From My Active Tests.  You will just set the number of questions you are looking for and select the test that contains your questions and click Save Criteria to pull the questions onto your new test. 

Note: For this option, your original test becomes the bank of potential questions, so if your previous test contains both our questions and your questions, both will be pulled onto the new test.

 C.  Pull Questions By Text, Keyword or ID:

  • Change the Question Bank drop-down to the appropriate option. If you have added your questions correctly, there will be two additional options. 
    • My Questions will contain the questions added to your instructor account.
    • My Schools Questions will contain questions added to the program by the active instructors in your school. This option allows you to share questions with the other instructors in your school.  If you search based on text you can then pull from your or your school's bank of questions that contain a specific word or short phrase.
  • Keyword: You can only search by keyword if you have assigned keywords to your questions.

 

  • ID: If you gave your questions individualized question IDs you can use those IDs to pull a specific question from a test.

Note: If you have trouble finding the questions you created when searching, double check the spelling and that there are no spaces before or after your search phrase.  If this does not help, refer to the link at the top of this article to make sure all the required info is added to your questions.
