More about how to find quizzes

You can use the drop-down list to sort the list by title (A to Z or Z to A) or by relevance to a keyword that you search for.



To find a specific quiz, use the search field to search for it. You can search by words in the title, author's name or quiz number.

To find quizzes that meet specific criteria, click Filters to the right of the search field. Then, select the filter that you want to use on the left. You can choose to see quizzes that are fiction and/or non-fiction, quizzes with certain interest levels based on the book's content or quiz titles within a specific book-level range (ATOS and/or Lexile® Measure). You can also select quizzes published within a specific date range. For filters with tick boxes like the one shown below, simply tick the boxes for the types of quizzes that you want to include, or tick Select all in the top right corner.



For filters with ranges, drag the two circles to set the lower and upper ends of the range. In the example below, ATOS Book Level ranges from 4 to 8 will be included.



For filters with date ranges, enter or select the start and end dates.

To clear any filters that you have selected, click Clear All at the bottom of the filter pop-up window.

To close the filter window and see the results for the filters you have chosen, select Close in the bottom-right corner of the filter window. The quizzes that match your criteria will be listed, and you will see the filters you applied below the search field. To remove any of the filters and see the adjusted list of quizzes, select X () on that filter. To remove all filters, select Clear All to the right of the filters.



To see the vocabulary words for a quiz, select View Vocabulary. You will see the words, year levels and definitions. Select Done to go back to the list of quizzes.
