Choosing "apply penalties" means that there is a penalty for each wrong

attempt

For real tests (not just unlimited practice) change this to 1 attempt.

Adaptive Mode should be set to NO If you choose Yes for this option then the student will be allowed multiple responses to a question even within the same attempt at the quiz.

Remember to Click 'Save and display' at the bottom of the screen (see previous page)

Other Options:

•It is also a good idea to shuffle the questions so that students do not learn a pattern when they retake the test.

• Shuffling within the questions is also useful to discourage copying amongst students.

As the STCLive "help" function says, "You can use the general feedback to give students some background to what knowledge the question was testing. Or to give them a link to more information they can use if they did not understand the questions."

Scroll down the page. General feedback is given after the question has been attempted, and is the same for all students regardless of how they did the task

Scroll down the page again. There are four of these boxes, labelled choice 1, 2, 3 and 4. In one of them you put the correct answer, in three wrong, or less appropriate ones

e.g., here you would write "The Amazon"

Here you would give formative feedback, i.e.:"Not quite - the Amazon is the second longest river in the world"

When entering:• The correct choice, choose 100% as the

grade from this drop down menu,

•For incorrect answers choose 0%, or a higher percentage, as appropriate.

You can also, in addition to or instead of:

• Feedback to specific questions,

• Create generic responses, such as "well done" or "have a look at the notes for lesson 3.2"

in the test (left half of screen)

You can edit the settings for the test by returning to the home page, turning editing on, and clicking the editing

You can check your students’ results by clicking here. If all students scored low on one question, this means that either the topic needs to be

reviewed, or that the question was misunderstood and would need to be rephrased.
