How To: Take an Online Test

VTA Learner can present online, randomized tests.  Tests are accessed from the Lessons for Class page.  There are many ways to reach the Lessons for Class page.  These include:

  1. On your Learning Plan, select the "Resume" link.  

  2. In My Learner, click the "Resume" link for a class in either My History or My Schedule.

  3. If you enroll in an instructor-led class that contains pre-class lessons, the Enrollment Results page will display a View Lessons button.  Click this button to go to the Lessons for Class page.

Once you are on the Lessons for Class page, click the "Start Test" link in the Action column.  The Test Instructions page will open in a new window.

Navigation in Tests

  1. While in the test, you can use the Next and Previous button to move back and forth through the test questions.

  2. Use the Go To button to specific question number on the test.  First, select the question number in the pull-down menu at the bottom of the page.  Then click the Go To button to go to the selected question.

  3. Click the Quit button to close the test.

Tip: In many cases your test will be graded and stored if you quit in the middle of the test.  In other cases, your test will be "book-marked", allowing you to return to the test at a later time.  Read the instruction page before starting the test to determine what happens if you quit the test.  The Test Instructions page will tell you if a test may be book-marked.
 

  1. When you have answered all the questions on the test, click the Finish button.  The system will display a page that allows you to return to any questions you left blank.  Click the Grade Test button to have your test graded.

  2. If you did not pass the test, the system may give you an option to review the questions you missed. To review your test, click the Review button.  Additionally, the system may give you the option to retake the test, answering only questions that you missed.  To retake the test click the Retake button.

Tip: If the Review and/or Retake buttons are not available, then the test designer has decided not to allow a review or retake.
