Sending a test to another thatquiz user

QUESTION
I was wondering how to send a test to another user (a teacher, my friend).

ANSWER
If this is a test you have assigned to a class, here are the steps:
1. Click on the test name in your list of tests to get to the page for editing the test and seeings its details.
2. At the top of this page there are two links.  One link is for the class test (for a grade).  It contains a test code, consisting of eight letters or numbers.  For example PR4M2NAZ is a test code.  The other link you have to click to see where it takes you.  It takes you to the practice version of the test.  Copy the entire URL.  If you give your friend 1) the test code 2) the URL of the practice test, thatquiz.org will accept that your friend is allowed to view / import the test.
3. Your friend can then go to his/her list of tests, assigned to a class, and click the import button.  Entering the correct test code and practice test URL authorizes the friend to get a copy of this test.

NOTE: Previously we required only the test code, but had problems with students importing tests they were assigned to take themselves, in order to see all the answers.  So now it is more complicated but more secure.  Unless someone has both the test code and the practice test url, they cannot import the test.

OR, if this is a test you created, multiple choice for example, you can:
1. Publish your test in the public test library.  Make it "Public"
2. Have your friend search for you in the library by clicking "Teacher" and then typing your last name in the search box.
