A test in ADAM is a package that holds one or more test forms (see Author a New Form). While many tests contain only one form, a test might contain more than one form to support accommodation needs (for example, English and Spanish versions). 

Workflow: Create Form(s)→ Create New Test → Publish Test → Create New Administration

Pay attention to the names you give to each of these pieces, as names might contain subtle differences.
