The automatically graded assessments are great for most cases, but sometimes nothing beats a paper test where students fill in the answers with a pencil.

Some scenarios that you may want to provide a printed assessment could include: students won’t have access to devices on testing day, it’s a practice test you want the students to have a physical copy to review or to meet an IEP student’s needs.

Print a unit quiz or module test for students to take a paper copy
Print a custom exam for students to take a paper copy

Print multiple versions of an assessment

To prevent students from looking at each other’s work, you can print multiple versions of a paper assessment. Using the shuffle button, you can randomize the questions and the question response options before you print each version of an exam.

You’ll likely want to print an answer key for each version of the assessment, so before you shuffle for a new version, make sure you print and label your key!
