  How do administrators allow students to re-download an assessment to a different laptop?

Sometimes a student downloads an assessment to their laptop, and then needs to write the assessment on a different laptop.  By default, students are only able to download an assessment once.  If a student needs to download an assessment for a second time (ex. onto a back-up laptop after their own laptop stopped working), additional downloads can be added by following these steps. 

 

1.    Log into ExamSoft and click on the “Assessments” link at the top of the landing page. 

        This will take you to the list of assessments.

2.    On the assessments page, use the folder menu on the left side of the page to navigate to where the assessment in question is saved. 

        Click on the name of the folder to view the assessments saved therein, the click on the assessment’s name to view the details for that assessment.

3.    Clicking on an assessment always takes you first to a page describing the contents of the assessment. 

        Near the top of the page, click on the “Exam Taker Activity” tab to view which students have downloaded and/or uploaded an assessment.
