How to Make an On Line Test

You can create as many tests as you want using the instructions below.
In order for the test to be sent directly to your email account you must have your web master add an account for you in wsendmail.ini. Your web master may set up your account by using your initials (first, middle, last). They will also give you the IP address to your web server.
You may wish to print out these instructions when you create a test for the first time.
Many thanks goes to Gary Spears, Technology Coordinator for the Greene County School System,  for creating this test template.

Step 2: Change the Multiple Choice Quiz by typing in your questions and answers. You must note the correct answer to each question. Did you change the title?
Example: 1. a, 2. c, 3. d, 4. a, 5. b
Step 3: You need to edit the test to create your test. You will use the HTML Tools.
Go to Tools- HTML Tools
Step 4: You are now in the HTML text. Look for "Teacher's Name Here" and replace it with your name. You may want to change the title. 

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.77 [en]C-CCK-MCD NSCPCD47 (Win98; U) [Netscape]">
<meta name="Author" content="Teacher's Name Here">
<title>Multiple Choice Test</title>
<!-- Created with AOLpress/2.0 -->
<script Language="Javascript"> 
Step 5: You must list your correct answers, [0] = A, [1] = B, [2] = C, [3] = D. If question 1 (Q1) was B, you would enter the number 1 between the brackets, question 2 (Q2) was C, you would enter the number 2 ......
The test will not submit until all the answers are correct! 

if (document.theform.Q1[0].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q2[0].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q3[2].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q4[3].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q5[1].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q6[0].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q7[1].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q8[0].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q9[1].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
if (document.theform.Q10[0].checked){SCORE=SCORE + 10}
Step 6: Put your IP address where the X's are, it will look something like 170.123.245.631. Replace YourInitals with whatever your web master has assigned to you. You may wish to add a descriptive name to VALUE="Multiple Choice Test", such as "Math Multiple Choice Test", if you are creating several tests.
