QUIZZES

AT THIS TIME

7. WHAT IS IT?
 Engrade Pro released a “Tests and
Quizzes” feature earlier this year,
allowing teachers to administer virtual
assessments through their grading
system.
 Tests and Quizzes is conveniently
located on the website’s left side
navigation bar.
 Here, let me show you!

8. HOW IS IT USEFUL?
 Tests and Quizzes allows teachers to input the correct answers ahead of
time. Engrade will automatically score the test and can show students
their grade as soon as they click “submit”.
 Teachers can export test grades directly to their gradebook.
 No need to waste paper!
 Students can take their tests on a computer, phone, or tablet.
 Tests can be scheduled so students can access them over a weekend.

9. WHY SHOULD WE USE IT?
 Testing our students online allows
them to get accustomed to the style
favored by PARCC, College Board, and
many colleges.
 A school-wide implementation presents
a united front to support the students.
 It saves time, energy, and paper!

10. HOW DO WE DO IT?

up at this time and follow along in the
brief demonstration.
