Please read before proceeding:
Pearson Connexus offers multiple assessment types, including Next Generation (NextGen) assessments. NextGen assessments are created differently from our standard, or traditional, assessments and therefore cannot be bulk edited with the instructions below. Doing so will cause issues with the actual assessments. If you would like to add a password to a NextGen assessment (or if you’re uncertain which type of assessment you have), add a password for each individual assessment at the activity level, as shown in the image below.
Please use the following images to determine which type of assessment you are attempting to edit.
