Reset pre-tests

Updated 19 Feb 2024

In MyLab Languages, you build readiness checks and practice tests with study plans using the study plan activity type.

You can set a pre-test Number of attempts preference on the Study Plan preference page. With this option, you can specify a number of pre-test attempts, or allow unlimited attempts.

However, after one or more students have accessed the readiness check or study plan, you cannot make changes to pre-test preferences; the Edit option no longer appears on the pre-test options menu.

To make changes to an already-started pre-test, you need to reset the pre-test for all students who have already opened it. After you reset the pre-test, students can again access the pre-test as many times as you specified.

  1. Click Course Materials > Add from Library or Course Materials > Manage Course Materials.
  2. Locate the readiness check or study plan with the pre-test you want to reset.
  3. Select Edit from the readiness check or study plan options menu.
  4. Select View Submissions from the pre-test options menu.
  5. Select the student name and click All submissions from this student.
  6. Repeat these steps for each student who started or submitted a pre-test that you want to edit.

    Teaching assistants must have permission to reset study plans. Instructors use the Preferences > Permissions page to determine what features are available to teaching assistants.
