Creating a New Quick Test Key

With the new consolidated look teachers will select Create a New Quick Test Key from the left panel under Assessment Options while in the Assessments tab in Aware.

The test key is now done in three steps:

1. Type the title, select the subject, assign a grade level, adjust default performance level percentages (it is recommended to mirror your meets and master requirements for STAAR tested subjects), and click on "ADD A COURSE" to select your course (if it doesn't populate for you), and click "EDIT CAMPUSES" (if it doesn't populate for you). Click "BUILD QUICK KEY" at the bottom.
2. If numerical or constructed response question types need to be added to your key, click Add Rule then select the desired type. The griddables and score ranges can be formatted here, as well. Click Create Quick Key when done.
3. The Test Key view will open allowing teachers make additional edits such as:
   • Item Number
   • Correct Response or Score Range (for Constructed Response type Questions)
   • Item Weight
   • Primary Standard
   • Secondary Standard
   • Link Resources (it is important to link all questions to resources, if it applies (ex. reading passages), if you plan to utilize the new question randomization feature for online testing
