If you chose to have the quiz read to you, you will hear each question and the answer choices. To hear the question or one of the answers, click the item.
If you want the sound to stop for a question, click the Pause button above the question. The button will change to Play. When you want to hear the sound again, click Play.
Quizzes can be stopped by if necessary. Select Stop Quiz at the top of the quiz question screen. In the window that opens, the teacher or quiz monitor must enter the authorisation password and click Stop Quiz.

- If the program asks for an authorisation password, the teacher needs to enter the password and select OK.
- Next, the program shows you how you did on the quiz. Your results will look like the picture below. A star or trophy means you passed the quiz. (A trophy means you got all of the questions right.) An empty circle means you did not pass.
If you passed the quiz and it is a Reading Practice Quiz, you may have a Review Questions button; select it to see the questions again and the answers for the questions you got wrong. For questions you answered incorrectly, your answer will be circled and in red with an "X." The correct answer will be circled in green with a tick.
