ExamView (for Making Tests) and Importing Test Banks into Your LMS Training

Test banks for most of our Elsevier textbooks are provided in ExamView® format. ExamView is a suite of assessment software that allows you to access your test banks and build assessments for use outside of the Evolve website.

This page features online tutorials, guides, and training sessions developed by product trainers and nurse educators, allowing you to learn this product at your own pace.

I need to use ExamView to make paper tests, including for programs where my students are not able to access courses.

This option is typically for use with schools wanting to make paper tests or with government programs, GED programs, or accelerated high school programs.

First, choose your operating system to install ExamView or TurningPoint Classic:

ExamView – Installation on Windows

I need to use ExamView to convert Evolve test banks for use with my LMS (Blackboard, Brightspace by D2L, Canvas, Moodle, etc.)

First, choose the LMS in which you want to make tests:

Importing .imscc Test Banks into Blackboard
Importing .imscc Test Banks into Brightspace by D2L
Importing .imscc Test Banks into Canvas or Importing .zip Test Banks into Canvas (Begin with either one. If you see the test bank is the other file type while following the steps, switch to the other document. You do not need to select anything from the second or third sections below.)
Importing .imscc Test Banks into Moodle

Please note, for Blackboard, Brightspace by D2L, or Moodle users, if you download Evolve test banks using the guides above and the file extension is a .zip file instead of .imscc, you need to install ExamView and use it to convert those to .imscc files in the second and third sections below before returning to the guide in the first section above.

Second, choose your operating system to install ExamView or TurningPoint Classic:

ExamView – Installation on Windows
ExamView – Installation on Mac (This may install TurningPoint Classic as an alternative to ExamView)

Third, use this guide to convert .zip test bank files to .imscc files:
