Teachers: let students jump ahead

Teachers,

You know that with Spelling Test Buddy, you can set up a schedule of upcoming assignments. And when your students log in, they will get the next upcoming assignment (based on the Test Date) automatically.

But, what if you want to provide the ability for students to jump ahead, or take tests out of order?

There is now a new switch in the 📅 Assign Tests tab called “Let Students Jump Ahead”. It looks like this:

When you switch it on, and then 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 for both older and younger students.

p.s. stay tuned, next week will be a fun one!

Thanks,

- Jason
