Preferences

Correct Answer at A: Notice as you type in your assignment items, that by default, you always type your

correct answer at A. This makes assignment data entry easy.

• AccelTest can shuffle your item answers so that the correct answer will not always be A on the

assignment the students receive.

• The Shuffle drop-down menu allows you to select, for each individual item, None (no shuffle),

a-b shuffle, and a-c shuffle (with default 4 answer choices). All (shuffle all) is the default setting.

• If you have selected more item answers (click on the Choices drop down menu), your shuffle options

increase correspondingly up to 9, and decrease if you selected less than 4.

Setting “Type correct answer here” Position: You can change an item’s correct answer position from the

default A to B, for example.

If you want to change the position of

your correct answer to B, for example,

click on the answer field for B and type

in your correct answer; then, enter a

Distracter (incorrect answer) in A.

Next, click on the Answer field, below

your answer choices, and replace A

with B.

Changing Item Point Value: To change

an item’s point value, click on the

Points field, and enter the new point

value. The total points for the

Assignment will reflect this items point

change.

Saving Changes: Click on the [Done]

button and then [Save] to save changes.

To give this assignment to your students, see“Add Assignments to Gradebook and Assign to Students” on
