🔍 Search for an Exam

When you click Exams in the navigation menu, you see a list of all available exams. These exams include exams you created and exams other instructors created and assigned to one of your classes. You can further filter the list by selecting either the Show All Exams or the Show Credentialed Exams radio button.

You can filter the list of exams by expanding the Exam Type list at the top of the page and selecting SIMnet Exam or Test Bank Exam. If you filter by SIMnet Exam, an additional Content filter list is available. Expand the Locked list to filter by locked or unlocked exams (an assignment is locked when a student opens it and answers a question). You can also expand the Scenario list to filter by exam type: Scenario A or Scenario B.
