A "test intro page" is an introductory page that is not counted towards a test score. This page can be used to create an example question to show the student before administering the test to ensure they understand the assessment process. Teachers may benefit by including instructional details for how a test should be administered to the student.
Test Intro Pages can only be created for tests you author. If you'd like to use a system or Noted Author test, simply copy the test first (making you the author) and then you can add a Test Intro Page. It is important to note that making a copy of an assessment copies only the questions and not the test data. So if students have already been tested, their data will not transfer to the new copy.

- Click “Test Explorer”:
- Filter by “My Tests” on the left hand side, or use the Search Tool to locate and select the test. Test Intro Pages can only be created for tests in which you are the author.
