Create online tests

Learn how to create tests on Wajooba.

Similar to the traditional learning system that we have in schools or universities, Wajooba allows you to assess your members’ understanding of the topics you discussed from your classes or learning materials through tests.

Results of these tests allow you to provide feedback to your members on areas where they have an opportunity and to assess your teaching strategy to help them have a better grasp of the topic you shared to them.

Tests also allow you to accredit members on the expertise you're sharing. You can grant them certificates which they can use to apply for jobs or to be more proficient in their fields.

Step 1: Set up the Question Bank

The Question Bank houses all the questions that will be part of your online test. It organizes your questions based on chapters or sessions.

Step 3: Set up test details

Let's add more details about the test. Follow these steps.

1. Enter the title of your test in its corresponding field. For example, "Semestral Exam" or "Final Exam."
2. To add the test instruction, select ➕ Add Instructions.

   💡 You can explain the test information here, such as the test duration, the passing percentage, and the test's score type.

   Score types

   Score Type	Description
   Negative Marking	Instead of giving no marks, this option deducts points from the actual score based on the number of incurred mistakes. Select the pattern you want to use for the test. 1/4: 0.25 point is deducted for every mistake. 1/3: 0.33 point is deducted for every mistake. -1: One point is deducted for every mistake.
   Linear	The members’ scores are based on the actual number of correct answers.
   Graded	Based on their actual scores, the members’ marks will be graded based on this matrix. Grade Actual Score A1 90-100 A2 80-89 B1 70-79 B2 60-69 C1 50-59 C2 40-49 D1 30-39 D2 20-29 E1 10-19 E2 0-9

3. Under Test Information, add the Test Duration, Passing Percentage, and the Score Type.

   ⚠️ You're required to add a test duration. Making both hours and minutes zero will automatically fail the members the moment they start the test.

4. (Optional) To add an image, video, audio, PDF, or paragraph, select the Add Content for the Test checkbox, then select Add Content. It serves as a supplemental resource to help your members answer the questions.

   💡 The  IsComprehensive Test checkbox allows you to show the uploaded content with each question in the test. A few more things to keep in mind:

   • Both contents you add here and in the Question Bank will show up in the test. Make sure not to duplicate your contents.
   • When uploading images, we recommend using 740 x 340 pixels that are not more than 2 Megabytes. 
   • You can upload files with these extensions: mp4, mkv, 3gp, x-flv, MP2T, 3gpp.
5. To choose a set of questions for your test, select a Question Bank from the dropdown.
6. Select the chapter and the number of questions you’d like to cover in the test. The number of available questions in each chapter shows just next to the chapter title (#). If you want to add or delete a chapter, select the plus ➕ or trash 🗑️ icon, respectively.

   💡 Setting a number of questions will randomize which questions will show to the members when they take the test. This ensures that no two members have a similar set of questions. For example, you have 100 available questions in a chapter in your question bank, and you set two questions only for the test. The system will randomize which two questions will be included to your members.

Step 4: Customize test settings

Select the test type for this activity. It can be a practice or a final test. The advanced options will be pre-selected based on the type you selected. 

• Practice Test: This allows you to create short online tests to assess your members’ understanding of the discussion before you move on to the next topic. Typically, you would want to conduct practice tests after each chapter.
• Final Test: This helps you test your members’ knowledge and understanding of all the topics in the course. We recommend doing the final test at the latter part of the whole course.

Note that you can still customize it based on your preference.

2. To make this activity available to your students, scroll up and toggle the Publish button.

   Select which batches can see this activity. Select the  Manage Batch 👥 icon next to publish and toggle the corresponding batch.
