1. Sending Tests to Students
After you have set up Wordlists, Students, Groups, and assigned tests, you can distribute the following to your students:
- Your teacher link. You can obtain this from the Assign Tests page from the side bar.
- Their individual student code. You can obtain this from the Students page from the side bar. Make each student learns only their own code!
2. When your student opens the link
The link you send to your students will look like this:
https://spellingtestbuddy.com/test?studentCode=123456
When your student taps on it, they will be taken to a page like this:
They need to enter their student code, and tap Start Test.
3. The test
The normal path is that your student will be taken to the first assigned test in the Upcoming/Active Assignments list for them to complete.
Your student will play each word in the list. They can play the word as many times as they need to. They can also play a sentence that uses the word, to hear it in context. They will then spell the word.
Once they’ve done this for all the words on the list, they tap Submit your answers. They are taken to a grading page to see how well they did, that looks like this:
(In this case, the student got 100% correct, and they are rewarded with confetti!)
Their results are saved for you to review in the Reports page.
If this test was in Practice Mode, they can take it again by tapping Practice again.
How can I let them jump ahead, or practice out of order?
Within Assignments, there is a switch named Let Students Jump Ahead. It looks like this:
With this switch, when your student signs in, they will be taken to a page that shows all upcoming tests, like this:
- They can tap on any of the tests to be taken to them.
- If the test they want to choose is in Test Mode, and they’ve already completed it, they will not be able to take it again (as you can see by the disabled “Take Test” button in the second entry).
This is a great feature if you want to provide more flexibility for your students to practice and test on what they want to next. It’s useful for older students who don’t need to be guided through the material in order, or to provide additional practice on upcoming material even for younger students.
