Instructions for test 2

You must be using web browser software that supports file attachments (i.e. Netscape 4.0 or higher, or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher) to complete Test 2.

Instructions for students who may not be familiar with uploading or attaching a file. Please review or print these instructions, then return to the previous web page to complete the test.
1. You will need a file that you can upload for Test 2. Either create a file or use an existing file you may have on your computer's hard drive or on a floppy disk. A word processed document file with text only is the best type of file to use for Test 2.
a. If you don't have a file ready to upload, then switch from your web browser to your word processor (e.g., Word or WordPerfect.). Create a five-page document, save it, and exit the word processor application. Be sure to note the location where you saved the file on your hard drive. You can use the word processed file from Test 1.

2. Open the online assignment form by clicking the "Test 2: Create Assignment and submit as a file attachment" link at the bottom of the Test 2 web page.

3. Follow the directions on the assignment form to attach your file.
On the assignment form, you must --
a. Designate the file format of your document from the menu of choices provided. Or select "NOT ON LIST" and indicate the word processor you used to create the file.
b. Click the Browse button to locate and select your test file.
Depending on which web browser software you are using (i.e. Netscape, Internet Explorer), a "File upload" or "Choose file" window will appear. This window will help you locate the file on your hard drive and complete the file upload process. You may need to change the 'Look in' field to the drive where you saved your file. Also, be sure the 'Files of type:' field states "All files" instead of "HTML".
c. Locate and select your test file so its name appears in the "File name" field. Then click 'Open'. The path to your test file will appear in the box next to the Browse button. Submit the assignment form.

4. After submitting the form, you should receive a confirmation screen within a minute stating that the submission has been sent to the web site. Use the link "Click here" on that confirmation screen to see your submitted assignment posted on the 'Test Your System' page.
a. If you do not receive a confirmation screen, you may be experiencing problems with your Internet connection. Return to the Test Your System page and Refresh/Reload the page to see if your test posted. You should contact your ISP to determine why you are not communicating properly with the QCC web site.

5. Find your posting on the Test Your System page, click to open your posting and verify that you submitted a file attachment "assignment" to the web site.
