About Test DraftsAchievement Series provides four ways to create a district test draft:

Quick PickCreate tests by having Achievement Series randomly select items based on specific item banks and standards. You will typically use this test creation option to select items from the Scantron or other purchased item banks.

NormalIndividually choose each question from one or more item banks or by searching based on specific standards or keywords.

Answer Key only (AKO)Create tests by setting up an answer key to match an external test. Achievement Series item banks are not used. AKO tests have a couple of caveats:
