If you simply want to reuse the same questions on a test, or most of them, in your Bb Learn course shell, you can do so, but you have to make sure the template for the test is in your desired Bb Learn course shell.

Here is how to check if a test template is in a Bb Learn course shell, import a test (or test template) from another Bb Learn course shell if necessary, modify the test template's questions, and deploy it.

1. In your Bb Learn course shell, click to expand "Course Tools" in the left-hand navigation panel (course menu) and under the "Control Panel."
2. Click "Test, Surveys, and Pools."
3. Click "Tests."

      (a) To see test template questions:
               i.    Hover over the test template name with your mouse cursor.
               ii.   Click the circled down arrow next to the test template name.
               iii.  Click "Edit."
               iv.   To exit the test questions webpage, scroll down to the bottom, and click "OK."
5. To reuse a test or test template in another Bb Learn course shell:
