Accelerated Reader Authorisation Password

The Accelerated Reader authorisation password is used in the following circumstances:

• You can require it to be entered by the teacher before and after quizzes. This is set in Authorisation Password Required preference in the School Student Quizzing preferences and the Class Student Quizzing preferences. (In the School Student Quizzing preferences, you can choose whether to allow teachers to change the setting for their classes in the Class Student Quizzing preferences.)
• You can allow the authorisation password to be used by the teacher to override blocked quizzes or date and time restrictions. (This is set in the Override Authorisation Preference in the School Student Quizzing preferences.)
• The authorisation password is required to stop a student quiz.

The authorisation password itself is set in the Authorisation Password preference in the School Student Quizzing preferences. To see it, follow these steps:

1. On the Home page, click Accelerated Reader; then, select Preferences in the menu that opens.
2. Click Student Quizzing in the School Preferences section of the Preferences page.



3. If necessary, choose the school you want to view from the drop-down list on the View School Student Quizzing Preferences page.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the page; the current authorisation password is in the last preference listed.

If you require the authorisation password in certain instances and/or you allow the password to override blocks and restrictions on quizzing, you should use this preference to set the password that you want your teachers to use.
