Convert Assessment Items to Item Bank

jroche2 — Tue, 06 Jun 2023 13:29:41 GMT

Hello, I am looking to copy assessment items (from assessments that I have made in a course) to a question bank or item bank. I cannot find a way to do this.

Has anyone found a work-around that does not entail archaically copying and pasting each stem and response options? Simply creating assessments initially inside a bank is not the solution I am looking for. Thanks.

I am looking for this, too. It seems like if it can be done with the old tests they could do it with assessments.

No option unless your district also has Test/Quiz still enabled. Another broken promise from PowerSchool.

Only if you have Test/Quiz in your district/school. It means exporting, importing it into a T/Q, exporting to a Question Bank, and then converting that to an Item Bank.

More broken promises from PS.

The process does exist for us, but you have to be quick. Add the test to your resources, export it as the cartridge format, and then re-import to your resources. While it stays green (instead of purple), you can edit the questions and add them to the question bank. Then convert that to an item bank, and then it will work to add questions to the assessment. The file will turn purple on its own after a short period of time, which breaks the process... Still trying to find out why that is happening.

They promised but never delivered this option. Dumb workflow decided by what programmers want to do versus what users need.
