2. On the Assessments page, under "Core Assessments", locate the assessment you want to export, and below its title, click Export.
3. In the window that opens, click Download. This generates an XML file and displays it in your browser.
4. When you see the generated file, use your browser's save command to save it (i.e., export it) to your hard drive or some other storage device.
