What is Take a Test? To help schools with testing, Windows provides an application called Take a Test. The application is a secure browser that provides different features to help with testing, and can be configured to only allow access a specific URL.

1. Start by creating Take a Test link HTML using the Take a Test Link Creator.

   1. For Schoology, you need to enter both the URL you want the Take a Test browser to use (i.e.: Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, etc.) and a name for the assessment. Both are needed to correctly generate the HTML for Schoology.

2. Then, navigate to Schoology and open the course you want to add the test to.

   1. If you are placing the test inside a weekly or unit folder, make sure to open that folder first.

3. Under Add Materials select “Add Page.”

   

4. When the Add Page window appears, give the page a title and click the stacked dots in the right-hand corner of the editor bar to switch to HTML mode.

   

5. Paste the copied Schoology HTML from the Take a Test Link Creator in the large text box.

   1. Unless you want to add more information to the page, you do not need to switch back out of HTML mode using the stacked dots.
   2. If you do want to add more information, toggle HTML mode back off using the stacked dots before adding details.

   

6. Optionally, click the newspaper icon next to Options to display the link below the page title in the list of assignments/assessments students see. Otherwise, students will have to click the page title to be presented with the link.
