Exams

Students cannot schedule secure exams—this is an instructor-only permission. The Secure Testing exams are password-protected, and we require an instructor to proctor these exams to students. Scheduling the test will provide you with the proctor password necessary for students to login to the exam.

To schedule a test:

• Go to the orange Learning Center tab.
• In the Exam Administration box, click on the Schedule a secure exam link.
• From the Fisdap Testing Admin page, click on the Schedule a Test button.
• Fill out all the information on the Test Scheduler page. You will select the test, the date (or a date range of up to 7 days), and the students who are going to take the test.
• The Scheduled Test Details page will appear as a confirmation that you scheduled the test.
• You will also find the Student Instructions which explains how to log in to the test, Proctor Password(s), and other helpful documents about preparing for the exam, such as "How to Succeed on a Fisdap Exam" and "Exam Troubleshooting Tips." 
• Each unit exam has a study guide that the outlines topics covered on that exam.
• If you see a student's name in red, that student does not have access to the Fisdap Testing product and you will have to pay to upgrade his/her account.

Fisdap Instructor Tutorial: Scheduling an Exam

To see how your students did on an exam you scheduled:

1. Go to the orange Learning Center tab.
2. In the Exam Administration box, click on the Review your students' scores and Learning Prescriptions link.
3. Select the test, the date range, and the group of students and click the Retrieve Scores button.

Rather than showing you the exact 200 questions from the exam, we provide students with a Learning Prescription. The Learning Prescription outlines in detail the recommended study areas, based on questions answered incorrectly. The Learning Prescription also breaks down what types of questions they missed: Knowledge, Application, and Problem Solving.

Educational experts advise that it is better for the students to focus on the topics they missed so that you can review the material with them and better target their studying. Otherwise, students have a tendency to want to memorize the correct answers to our questions—questions they won’t see again on the NREMT.

If the school is paying for the Study Tools upgrades, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Account tab.
2. Click the orange Order Accounts button at the top right.
3. On the Account Order/Upgrade page, click on the Upgrade Existing link under the Student Accounts section.
4. From the Upgrade Student Accounts page, use the search filters at the top of the page to generate a list of the students whose accounts you wish to upgrade.
   • Each column represents a different Fisdap product and the green checkmark indicates a product the student already has.
5. Check the boxes for the Study Tools account (EMT and/or Paramedic) you want to add to your upgrade order.
6. Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose Order with invoice or Pay by credit card.

Once you have completed the purchase, your students should have instant access to Study Tools.

You can find your students' results on the Study Tools quizzes and practice exam in the Student Portfolio section.

1. Hover your mouse over the My Fisdap tab and click on the Student Portfolios link.
2. Find the student whose results you want to see.
3. Click on the Exams tab in the portfolio.
   • You’ll see a list of all the quizzes and exams the student has taken. If none appear, the student has not yet taken the quiz or practice exam.
4. Click on the Learning Prescription icon to view more details.
