- Locate and click on the HESI (RN/PN) Practice Test folder. a. This folder is divided into topic folders.
- In most topic folders ( such as Community Health shown above ), you will see two sub-folders: Practice and Assignment. NOTE: Some Topic folders will only contain Practice folders.
- By default, the Practice folder link will be blue, which means that the folder and its contents are visible and available to students.

On the right, click to select All Students and click Save. c. The Assignments folder is now blue, so we know that students can see it.

- After students have started submitting an assignment, you can see their individual student submissions by clicking the Submissions button in the upper-right corner. a. Student names will be listed down the left side with their grades displayed. Clicking on a student name will open the student’s submission for review. b. If the student has more than one submission, buttons will display, allowing you to switch to a different submission.

Delivery Options
- The Delivery Options include features that will determine how the students will see and interact with the exam or quiz.
- The Paging Policy will be set to display All questions at once. You may choose to change this to one Question at a time. This will mimic what students see on the HESI proctored exams and will also save the students’ progress as they complete the assignment.
- Backtracking will be set to No if you switched to showing one Question at a time. This prevents students from returning to previous questions.
- Mastery Mode will be turned off. Turning this On will require students to answer questions correctly before moving on. NOTE: Mastery Mode should only be used if the Paging Policy is set to one Question at a time.

Scoring and Feedback Options
- The Scoring and Feedback Options sections will allow you to control how the assignment is graded and how the students will see the assignment feedback.

Changing this to Scores by Keyword will add an additional section to the student feedback, which breaks down the student’s performance by category.
- The Grade and show feedback after every page setting will be set to No. If this is changed to Yes, students will see the rationales and correct answers after each page or question is submitted.
- Next, we see options to hide question parts from students during review. These options can be checked to Hide the student’s Submitted Response , Correct Response , Results Summary , and Feedback for the question. By default, these settings will all be unchecked.
