Downloading Survey or Test Results

Blackboard allows you to easily create surveys and test, but sometime you may want to access the results in a spreadsheet to better analyze the data. You can do this easily by:

1. Go the “Full Grade Center”
2. Click on the chevron next to the column heading for the test or survey you want to download.
3. Select “Download Results”

You will be brought to a special page with several selection options.

• We recommend that you select ‘Comma’ to create a .CSV file.  This will work with most spreadsheet programs (such as Google Sheets or Excel).
• Then select what format and attempts you want included.  It is often useful select “By Question and User” and “All Attempts”

When you are done, select “Click to Download Results”.

The file will go to your download folder.  Please note that with some computer systems the file extension, that is the .CSV, is not included in the downloaded file’s name.  You can fix this by simply renaming the file, preferably something more useful than “Download” and include the “.CSV” in the name.

Now the new file can be opened in most spreadsheet programs.

You are done!
