How do I create a benchmark assessment?
As a Mastery Connect district administrator (admin) or a user with benchmark author or benchmark facilitator permission, you can create a benchmark assessment.
You can create a document-based benchmark or an item-based benchmark. A document-based benchmark is administered online or via a bubble sheet and is based on a document located on Google Drive, Dropbox, or on your computer. A document-based benchmark can also be administered via a bubble sheet but has no associated document. An item-based assessment is populated with items from an item bank and is administered online.
After you create a benchmark assessment, you can deliver it to trackers in your district.
