How do I open a .zip folder for PATs and other assessments?

After downloading a .zip file from OLP (or my.Impaq), the folder will automatically be saved to your Downloads folder.

Where do I find my Downloads folder
  1. Select File Explorer  from the taskbar, or press the Windows logo key + E
  2. Under Quick Access, select Downloads
  3. The test/examination that you’ve downloaded will be in your Downloads
     folder. You can identify compressed folders by the file extension (.zip) and a zipper on the folder icon.
How do I access/unzip a .zip folder?

When you extract files from a zipped folder, a new folder with the same name is created which contains the files. The compressed (zipped) version also remains.

To extract files from a .zip folder, do the following:
  1. Right-click the .zip folder saved to your computer
  2. Choose Extract All... (an extraction wizard will begin)
  3. Click Next >
  4. To choose a new file destination, click Browse... and navigate where you want to save the files.
  5. Click Next >
  6. Now click Finish
