As a district or school administrator, should you want students at particular grade level(s) to take a specific test on a specific date, you can create customized tests for them or use one of ours. This feature is called Scheduled Testing. (Note: These tests are given during school hours only so check and adjust your Time Settings in your School Management area, should you want students to do these tests as homework.)

Before moving on, know that this Grade Level Scheduled Tests area serves two purpose. It is used to:

1. Create tests; and

2. Identify which student(s) did not take the test. (View in the section called View Completion Progress below.)

To schedule and administer a Grade Level Scheduled Test, select School Management from your district dashboard.
​

Now, select the Grade Level Scheduled Tests tab.
​
​

From here, click the green Create New Scheduled Test button to create your test.
​

Once at the menu, you can choose to either compose your own scheduled test, or you can choose to use one that is already in the program (i.e., Home Row, Top Row, etc.) or one that you’ve already created and placed in our program previously.
​
To create a new scheduled test, press the green Create New Custom Test button. You can then use the text box to compose the test for a particular grade (s).
​
To use a scheduled test previously created, select the blue paper icon next to the test name to issue it.
​

Select Grade Level (s)

Next, select the grade(s) you would like to issue this test to, the time limit, the dates available and the maximum number of attempts and click Save. (Use 0 should you want students to take this test one time only.)
​
​

When the student logs in, they will see the scheduled test before anything else on their screen.
​

You may want to view the status of your Scheduled Test as it's being completed by the students. This could be helpful in following up with your staff to ensure that students are working. You can find each student's test status from where you created the test.
​
From the beginning, select School Management from your district dashboard.
​

Then, select the Grade Level Scheduled Tests tab.
​

Now you will see a list of all the tests you've created for the district. Should there be a one that you'd like to review, click on any eyeball on the right.

Now, you'll see a report by school of how many students have taken the test, have not taken the test, as well as the total students in the grade the test was assigned to.

If you prefer only to see the schools with students who have taken the test, you can press the switch at the top right to Hide Empty.

Should you want to dig deeper as to which students specifically have been assigned the test in a school, you can select the eyeball on the right of that school.

Here, you'll see all students who are scheduled to take the test as well as their school and classroom. (Note: If the student is listed "Unassigned" or "Multiple Classrooms", they are either not assigned to any classroom, or enrolled in multiple. For more information on students who are unassigned, click here.)

If you'd like to delete the scheduled test, you can also select the trash can icon to remove it from your students' schedule.

Of course, you'll want to see how well your students have done on their tests. You can find each student's test results from where you created the test.
​
From the beginning, select Reports from your district dashboard.
​

Then, scroll down to the drop-down menu and select the Grade Level Scheduled Test report. Select which grades and schools you'd like to view.
​

Then, select Run Report.
​

To view the specific tests, select Download Test Scores immediately under the drop down menu.

Now you will see a list of all the tests you've created for the criteria you've chosen. Should there be a one that you'd like to review, click on any eyeball on the right.

The results of the individual schools will appear. From this you will get a general picture of how each school did on that test.

Then, should you want to then dig into a particular school's results, click the eyeball to the right of that school's test scores. Now, you'll be able to see how individual students did in that Scheduled Test that you had them do. The grades they receive are based on the grading scheme your district uses or our defaults, should you not have modified them:

After you have reviewed the scores, you may click the Back button to go to the previous screen.

To schedule and administer a Grade Level Scheduled Test, hover over your Admin button. Then, select School Management from the drop-down list.
​
​

Now, select the Grade Level Scheduled Tests tab.
​
​

Press the green + Create New Scheduled Test button.
​
​

Once at the menu, you can choose to either compose a scheduled test, or you can choose to use one that is already in the program (i.e., Home Row, Top Row, etc.) or one that you’ve already created.

To create a new scheduled test, press the green + Create New Custom Test button. You can then use the text box to compose this for your grade.

To use one either previously created or pre-made, select the blue paper icon next to the test name to issue it.
​

Once you’ve got everything chosen or written down, you can opt to preview your test. Press the blue Preview button to preview the test as a student will see it.
​

If all looks well, select the grade levels to which you would like to issue this test, the time limit, the dates available to take that test, and the maximum number of attempts and press Save. (Choose 0 under Max Tries for students to take this particular test one time only at this time.)
​
​

When the student logs in, they will see the test before anything else on their screen.
​

As the test is in progress or even when the time to do the test is finished, you may want to see which students did not do it as yet or at all. This information may be helpful in following up with your staff: You have specifics of who didn't do the test and possibly come up with solutions to permit them to take the test(s) in the future.
​
As aforementioned, you will find information concerning who did not do your test in the Grade Level Scheduled Tests area. To get there, remember to click on your Admin button then on in the top right then on the Grade Level Schedule Test button. Once you do that, you get a list of the tests that you've given. Here's a snapshot of my screen and the information for my Grade Level Scheduled Tests area:

Notice that you're given the Start and End dates, Test Name, Grade, Status, By Whom (who assigned the test), and icons to view (who didn't do the test), edit and delete the test.

Like with all of our curriculums, where grading is concerned, you do that in the Reports area. School Administrators have two places they can click on. Should they want generally how each grade level did in the test, they click on Reports at the top. From the page you see, select Grade Level Scheduled Test.

From here, under Select Report, scroll and find the Grade Level Scheduled Tests option.

From here you select to review results by all so you have all results in one place. Now, click the View Individual Scores button.

A list of your tests will appear at the bottom of the screen with a line for each grade level you assigned the test. From here, click the eyeball and you'll get the general Accuracy, Speed, and Adjusted Words Per Minute results of your test for that grade level.

Should you want to see the results for a specific classroom, click on the classroom on the left, then Reports, then click Grade Level Scheduled Tests, then click the eyeball on the right that corresponds with the test that you want to see. You will get the individual results for each student and as a point of comparison, you'll see the average results for the whole grade level at the top of the graph. Here's an example of what you see:

Should you see scores, but no "Completed On" , this can mean one of 2 things:

In order to show a "Completed On" field, your student will need to take all their attempts, or meet their target until the due date has passed.
