Your Data After Copying
When copying a common assessment, a new assessment ID is created. This affects how your admin views cumulative reports:
Assigning the original — your results are grouped with your team's data in your admin's cumulative reports.
When assigning a common assessment, other teachers will not be able to view your data. Only administrators can view assessment data across teachers.
Making a copy — your results will appear separately in your admin's cumulative reports.
Check with your admin before making a copy.
