  2. Double click the file to unzip/expand the file. Doing so will result in a folder named after the downloaded file. Open this folder to find a folder titled Question Sets.

  3. In this Question Sets folder, the Test Bank questions will be divided further into other .zip files labeled by Chapter or Chapter/Section, depending on which book you are using. These are the files that will be uploaded into Blackboard.

  5. Once the import has completed, the chapter test bank title will appear in the list of question banks.

  6. The questions can now be added to Tests by selecting the Reuse Questions option (Course Content > Create Content > Test > Reuse Questions).
