Recently a teacher came to the Google Docs Help Forums to learn how to turn Google Forms Assessments off. The teacher was afraid students would copy the Assessment’s URL to share with friends. I was glad when Lance a Google Doc’s Product Expert friend reached out to me for help. The teacher learned two simple steps for maintaining assessment confidentiality.

First Make a Copy of Testing Template

1. Open the Google Forms Assessment
2. Click More Settings (3 Vertical Dots)
3. Select “Make a Copy”

BENEFITS:

• Making a Copy allows the user to make a blank question bank template to be used for future assessments.
• Allows teachers to easily share individual forms with each class.
  • Copies provide more control for turning an assessment on & off.
    • Teacher has a choice of turning off one class or all
