Once you create a test, you can export it from one Blackboard course to another; this can be helpful if you choose to use the same test for multiple classes, sections, or over the course of several semesters. You can do this by exporting and then importing the test.

You can also copy tests into another course via a Course Copy or by Exporting/Importing a Course.

5. Click Browse My Computer to open a new window and locate the zip file you just exported . Click Open .

8.  Your test is now included in the “Tests” area of this course under “Tests, Surveys, and Pools” in the Control Panel, but it will still need to be deployed in a specific Content Area. Visit the "Deploying a Test" section in the tutorial Creating a Test to learn how to do so.
