Creating a Test

From the Landing Page in your Teacher Gradebook, click on the Test Builder Tab.

You will then be directed to the Test Builder Landing Page.

Start by clicking on the Create New Test tab.

Each Test will be given a Title. The Scope of the Test is set to either Private or Public.

This means that if a test is set to Public, you can pull questions from Public tests to place on your

tests that you create. In addition, each Test will be given a description.

Test Scope = Public or Private


Also on the Create New Test Tab, you can set default feedback that will be provided to each student for their Correct, Partially Correct and / or Incorrect Assessment Answers. Click the Submit Tab to Save your Test Settings

Test Tabs From the Landing Page of the Test Builder, you can have Tests placed in 1 of 3 areas. When you create a Test with a Private Scope, it is placed in the My Tests tab. If you create a Test with a Public Scope, it is placed in the My Tests tab and it would be visible to other Staff members under the District Tests Tab. Later on, we will review how to Assign a Test to a Class. Once that is done, the Test would move to the Assigned Tests Tab.

Creating Test Questions

Question Types

In the Sapphire Test Builder, you can create 6 types of Questions

The Format of the Test Builder is constructed on placing Questions in a Group.

You can determine how many questions are placed in one group.

As the students take the test / assessment, all of the questions in the first Group will be displayed on the screen. The student would scroll down the screen to answer all of the questions in that Group. When the students are complete with questions in one group, they would click Next.

The Questions placed in the next Group, would be visible to the student on the next screen.

How to Create Question Groups and Questions

On the My Tests tab, after creating a Test, click on the Edit Questions Tab


The Name of your Test appears on the header bar. The number of test questions and Total Points will update as you create questions.

You will start by clicking on Add New Group.

After clicking on Add New Group, you will need to provide the following information for this Group of questions after clicking on the New Group Bar that appears on the canvas

After clicking on New Group bar, you will complete the following steps

• Name the Group • Determine how many questions are in this group

• Provide a description (directions) that will appear on the screen as a heading for this group of questions.

• Determine whether or not, you want the order of the questions in this group, to be shuffled for each student.


Next, you will start to Add Questions to the test or Add Questions from the Question Bank (which includes questions from tests that you have developed and Questions from a District visible test)

When adding a Question, you can choose from six options

Multiple Choice Option

Choose the Type of Question that you would like to Add and click Create. Cancel would abort that option.

Complete the following screen fields for all Multiple Choice question types Most Items on the left hand side of this screen apply to all Six Question Types

• Question Name - ( ex Q1 )

• Question Text -The Question

• Question Total Points- Point value of the question

• General Feedback – Optional, a description of where information could be found in the textbook about this topic. ( ex chapter 1 – Clouds )

• Extra Credit Flag – Is this question an extra credit question yes or no

• Standards – each question can be linked to a PA / Common Core Standard in the Dictionary o This gives you the ability to filter and search for questions to add to a new test by

standard. • Tag Labels – A key word that is associated to this question.

o This gives you the ability to filter and search for questions to add to a new test by its tag label ( ex – clouds )


On the right hand side of the canvas, you must complete the following sections

• Correct Answers – the number of correct answers to this question – one or multiple • Shuffle Answers – Yes or No. This means that, if set to yes, each students version of the test

would have the multiple choice answer options appear in a different order.

• Answer Format – A. B. C., 1. 2. 3. , I. II. III. – the labeling of your answer choices

• Answer – Each of the Possible answers from your choices • Points Worth – the Point value of each answer ( ex 1, .5 for partial credit, 0, -.5, -1 )

o Note – when working with Multiple Choice questions with multiple answers, you may want to create point values of -1 for incorrect answers so that a student cannot select all 4 answers to your question and earn all of the correct points by their actions. (for example – you have 4 choices a, b, c, d with a and c being the correct answers. If they picked all 4 answers, they still earn 2 points. But, if you set the point value for each answer to be a=1, b= -1, c=1 and d= -1, and the student that selects all four, they would end up with zero points (2 – 2 = 0)

o With the option for multiple answers, another field will appear on the screen and ask you if you want the point value of the answer ( for student answers ) to go below zero

( yes or no )

• Specific Answer Feedback – This allows you to provide specific feedback to the student answers for this question. If you use this option, this feedback will override the General Answer Feedback that was set up when you created the test.

� Answer – the numeric answer to your question � Points Worth – the point value of the answer � Error – if applicable, the acceptable numeric range for an answer ( Margin of error )

� Click finish

After selecting the Short Answer option to add a question, complete all of the Question Fields as shown before. Fields that are specific to this type include the following:

� Case Sensitive Flag – if set to yes, the answer must be in proper case (ex Baltimore vs. baltimore)

� Answer – the short answer to your question o It is important to note that this type of question is generally a 1 or 2 word answer

that must be typed/entered by the student, exactly as you have it in the answer data base.

o For example � If the student enters Washington and you have George Washington, their

answer is wrong

• When creating acceptable answers for this type of question, create two of them

o Washington o George Washington

� If your answer is “counterclockwise and inward” and the student does not include the word and, their answer is wrong

• Provide clear direction to the students so that they know what to type, use one word answers, or move this type of question to the Essay Option

� In math, be sensitive to an answer to a question like factor x2 -25

• If the student enters (x+5)(x-5) and you have (x-5)(x+5), their answer is wrong, unless you enter both (x+5)(x-5) and (x-5)(x+5) as two different correct answers.

� Note – when Sapphire corrects the student answers, the spaces are not used in comparison and scoring.

� Points Worth – Point value for the question � Click finish
