I was trying to see what a stimulus and question looked like before I assigned a New Quiz to students. I went to assign it to just the Test Student so I could take the test while not publishing it for the rest of the class. The Assign To lists all my students with the exception of Test Student. Is there a way to view the student experience and see how they would have to navigate it and what their results would look like to them (learning outcomes assigned, what feedback would look like--especially on different devices) without publishing the quiz?

Hi @VickiHanes,
While you are correct, as far as I know, that you can't use the assign-to for this, you should be able to utilize the Preview option within New Quizzes if the goal is to see how the quiz will look. The preview can't handle multiple attempts or a few other things, but it will show you what a single attempt of your quiz will look like for students without having to publish the quiz to your whole class.
I hope this info helps!

What I needed to see is what that will look like in the mastery learning grade book. I'm trying to use this for the first time and I don't know how I want to set it up so that it achieves what I am hoping. I was hoping to take the quiz as a student and then see what that says in my learning outcomes, but it didn't work this way. I had to do trial and error with my students, and it didn't work for one class. So, I had to redo the assessment and then have them transfer their answers over so it would be accurate in the mastery grade book. It would have been helpful to see this in advance as it was quite a bit of work due to mistakes I was making because I couldn't see the results of how I was setting up the outcomes. That is why it would be helpful to be able to see the full student experience from beginning to end to correct any issues before I publish and have students complete. I hope that makes sense.
