Building Your Test - NOTES

• As you have noted so far, building a test in the HCM is simply a formal version of sitting down and writing it out on paper.

• First, you build out the questions you are going to ask and the potential answers based on the subject

• Align the questions you enter with either a training event or a policy name

• Build your Test name and refine what questions are available by simply refining the search parameters to pull only those specific questions

Building Your Test – Step 3

1. Create a New “TEST NAME”

2. Refine your parameters by either a Training Name or refine by Policy

3. Select “GO” to pull only those questions that were aligned with the Training or Policy you selected

Building Your Test – Step 4

1. If you choose to use all of these questions in their entirety or to use them as a bank of questions, select “ALL AVAILABLE QUESTIONS”

2. Based on your selection which in this case is using TPCA Policies and specifically 1.5 Mutual Aid Agreements, you select “GO” and your aligned questions you had previously built show up over to the left

Building Your Test – Step 5

1. When you select “ALL AVAILABLE QUESTIONS, the system will bring all those questions over to the right as shown

2. Now that you have selected these 7 questions you have an option to randomly select from these 7

3. I will randomly select 5 questions from this bank so that no one get’s the same test nor in the same order

Building Your Test – Step 6

1. I have selected this test to be 5 questions long and to pull the questions randomly from the 7 questions I pre-built

2. I created a threshold or passing score required at 100%

3. I also have the option to set this test as a “Standard – No Review Allowed” or “Allow Review with Correct Answer”, Then click on Save

4. Building out your test is completed

Assigning a Test

• Assigning a test is an option with both Training and with Policies

• You have the option when you build a Training Event to require a test

• You have the option when you load a Policy in the system to always require a test

• You have the option to assign a test when you are actually assigning a training event or policy as well
