  5. Creating Copies of Quizzes and Tests for Groups of Students

You can create copies of quizzes/tests to account for students who’s local schools require passwords when others in the class do not require a password.   The following instructions outline the process for creating groups, copying a quiz or test, and releasing the quiz or test to students based on their group enrollment.

Important Note: Grades from the copied version of the quiz or test will not automatically carry over to the Grades area.  You will need to manually input the grades for students who take the copy of the original quiz/test.
