When I create a test in MasteryConnect, I turn on the tools and accommodations, but when my students begin taking the assessment, they cannot use the tools and accommodations.  What do I need to do so they can use Tools and Accommodations when they b...

Will this conversion allow you to track which path the students are in?  Classic quizzes shows this, but does it chart which path each student is on in New Quizzes?  If not, is this a feature that will be available in the future?

Can you change the speed the text is read aloud to students when this is given as an accomodation?

How do I create a multi section test that will only allow desmos calculator on one section?

where do I find the Test ID for students to login?

I have a student on my roster who disenrolled in January of 2024. Her name still appears on my Mastery Connect roster. I have reached out my school principal, the district testing coordinator, as well as IT, but no one has been able to solve this pro...

When I assign my assessment in Mastery Connect, I have chosen accommodations for students, but they do not appear on the student end.  What am I doing wrong?

When our teachers convert a New Quiz to a Mastery Connect, some of the images do not come through.  A "broken" image icon appears instead.  All of the images are .png images and were all uploaded in the same way.  Example:  One of our teachers attemp...

If teachers print the quizzes instead of giving them online, it is there an easy way to get an answer key?

I have created a new assessment, but when I hit "create assessment" and check to make sure the document is there, the whole document will not load.  I can barely make out the cover page and none of the passages or questions will show up.  It will not...

Hello! Due to staffing changes, we have students in more than 1 tracker and it is impacting our completion rates. How do we rectify this?

I posted an assessment titled "Theme and Text Evidence Practice" for two classes. I assigned it twice and both classes took it both times. The first time classes took it is not showing up anymore. I am needing help retrieving the data from the first ...

Has anyone figured this out??

When assigning or creating a new assessment the reading passage is being duplicated for some reason. I have attached an example for reference. 

My students completed a pre-assessment and only some grades posted. The majority of the grades did not post. I refreshed the page, I shut down the computer, and I used a different device. It is still not posting on Mastery. Any ideas on what is wrong...

My APHG Ch 12 23-24 assessment has been uploaded, answer key made, yet the system does not allow me to complete the "create assessment process"

How do you create an assessment with a passage and questions that you have created and put into your personal bank?

Is there a setting that can be changed to where the Benchmark data of Mastery, Near Mastery, and Remediation can be included with the tests I've created in the overall mastery of the standard? 

Hello @DWeisman ,   This is certainly possible. Under the "More Options" section of a question, you can ensure that the scoring method is set to eQuivsymbolic. This will allow what you have above to work. It will look for anything that is mathematica...

The proficiency calcuation is set by the district, which is by default "Most Recent;" However, you can use the Individual Student Mastery Report to see the "overall course mastery" for a student. 

Hello @LaurieBoyer-Sen ,   You can certainly reopen a submitted formative assessment.    How do I reopen a submitted formative assessment? If it is a district benchmark, then that is something you will have to ask an admin for assistance on. 

Hello @BryanSnyder ! You can create Multiple choice questions either as a Document-Based Assessment or Author your own when creating an item-based assessment. There are a variety of question types you can make aside from that.   

I am trying to create an assessment and I do not have multiple choice as an option for the question.  This is very strange as most of the questions on this system are multiple choice?  Help please! 

How to reset a test?

Is there anywhere to find students' cumulative mastery levels rather than just "most recent?"    

I have some questions about some students that were enrolled here at our school after our initial integration into Mastery Connect.  These students are not able to take a Mastery Connect quiz, so I think it must have something to do with the timing f...

Yes.  When you "ADD ASSESSMENT," you will indicate that you want the source to be "DOCUMENT." From there, you can upload a document. Then, you will create an answer key and connect the answers to specific standards.  This type of test will not have t...

Try downloading the item analysis page. It should give you an excel document with the students answers to each of the questions. 

Yes. You should be able to see it when you click on Launch Performance Grader. Also, if you download the Item Analysis page, you can see the student responses that way. 

For some reason, they have very deliberately changed the code to do this. My husband is a programmer and was able to look at the code to show me where they added in a page break from some reason.
