1. Assigning Tests

Start on the “Assign Tests” page:

First, pick the Word List you want to assign.

Then, pick the Student or Group to which you want to assign the test.

Then, set the Test End Date. After this date, the test will no longer be available to students.

For Practice Mode (allow repeated attempts), choose whether you want this to be a “practice mode” test (where the student can try the test as many times as they want) or a “test mode” test (where they can only take it once).

For Shuffle words, choose whether you want the list to shuffle/randomize the words when the student takes the test.

Tap on “Create Assignment”.

2. Sending Tests to Students

Now, it’s time to send the test to those assigned students.

Send your students two things:

• Their individual student code
• Your teacher link, as shown in the above image

When your students open the link, they will be asked to enter their student code. Once they enter their code, they will be taken to the next available test.

Their browser will remember their student code after the first time they enter it.

They’ll be taken to the Upcoming Assignments page:

They can then take their test…

…And see their results immediately!

Example: How to set up a weekly pre-test, practice/games, and main test

Let’s say you want to set up the following schedule for each week:

• Provide a pre-test to your students on Monday
• Allow them to practice with spelling tests and games as much as they want on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and
• Provide the main test on Friday

and you want to do this for 20 spelling tests this school year, all in advance.

You can do this easily with Spelling Test Buddy! Here’s how you set it up.

First, create the Pre-test Assignment on Monday in Assignments:

Second, create the Practice Assignment for Tuesday to Thursday:

Third, create the Main Test Assignment on Friday:

Repeat this structure for all 20 weeks, but just change the Word List and dates for Available From and Available Until.

You can even set this up for groups of students too, and truly differentiate across levels.

And that’s it! The system will automatically show and hide tests for each student.
