If your school district has updated to the latest version of Schoology, you may no longer be able to create Tests/Quizzes; Instead, you may only have the option to Add Assessments. This article is dedicated to creating assessments. If you still have the option to create Tests/Quizzes in your course, please visit that Knowledge Base Article here.
