Online quizzes and tests, like paper-and-pencil tests, contain a variety of question types such as multiple choice, short answer, or matching. The technology of online tests allows your teachers to use features such as automated grading, multiple attempts, time limits, multimedia in questions, and time ranges.

Here are some tips for taking tests online:

• Identify if there is a due date or not.
• Read the instructions!
• Read the questions carefully and double-check answers.
• Schedule time to take online tests on a computer with a secure and reliable connection that is located in a quiet environment.
• If the test you are taking has a time limit, make sure you do not begin taking it until you are ready!
• If you need special accommodations for a test, contact your teacher at the beginning of the term and prior to each test.
• You may be able to take a test multiple times. If you have multiple attempts, your teacher will control how the grade is calculated.
• For multiple choice questions with multiple answers, your teacher controls how you are penalized for incorrect choices. Make sure you read these questions carefully and only select the answers you believe to be correct.
