Adding Item Bank Test Items to Aware Tests

When creating tests in Aware, teachers have the opportunity to use item banks for pre-made test questions or sections. You can find more information about Item Banks here.  

Adding from an Item Bank

To add an item from an item bank to an Aware test, click the Plus icon to add a new question within the test. A small window will appear that allows you to choose a specific item type or search the item bank.

You can choose either individual questions or resources that include multiple questions.                 

You may search for questions by specific standard or browse all standards. Add questions or resources to your Question Cart by clicking Add Question. Once you have added the questions you want, click Add to Test to finalize the adding process.

Note: Use the Select All Standards option if you plan to search for complete unit tests or released STAAR assessments in the next step.

Questions will be added to the test in the order they are selected. To rearrange questions, use the small up and down arrows attached to the question. To delete a question, select the small trash can icon. 

Reporting a Bank Item

To report an item for errors or incorrect content, select the Report button.

Then write a short message describing the error. Your message will create a ticket to be sent to Eduphoria's support team, and if the question is a TEKS Resource System or TEKSbank item, it will also be sent to Region 10's support ticketing system.

Filtering Resources

To sort question results choose from the available filters on the right side of the window. Try using multiple filters together to get customized content.

Note: The type and number of filters available depend on the associated course.
