A quiz request is Delayed. How do I write the quiz myself?

Step by step · Updated

Open the request's … menu and choose Contribute quiz. Once you submit your questions, the quiz unlocks for your students straight away. You don't need to wait for our quiz team.

Steps

  1. Open your class and click Quizzes in the sidebar.
  2. Scroll down to Book Quiz Requests. Tick Show only delayed requests to list just the ones marked Delayed.
  3. Click … next to the request → Contribute quiz.
  4. For each question, fill in the question, the Correct answer, and Wrong answer #1, #2 and #3.
  5. Click Submit quiz. It turns on once enough questions are complete: 6, or 12 for books for older readers. Add another question adds more.

If you close the form part-way, Bookroo asks Discard quiz? Choose Finish writing quiz to keep your questions.

Writing good questions

  • Ask about memorable or key events in the book.
  • Make each question easy for someone who read the book and hard for someone who didn't. Don't be tricky.
  • Write your own questions. They can't be copied from another source.

What happens after you submit

  • The request shows Available. The student finds the book under Quizzes You Requested on their dashboard, with a Take quiz button. See quiz request statuses.
  • Who can take it now: students in your classes. If your class belongs to a school on Bookroo, students in other classes at that school can take it too.
  • Our quiz team reviews it. Once approved, it's available to every Bookroo reader. If it's rejected, it's removed, even from students who have already taken it.

Good to know

  • You need Edit access or higher to the class for your quiz to reach its students.
  • Students can write one too. Delayed books appear on their dashboard under Quizzes Needing Your Help, with a Write a quiz button. A quiz a student writes unlocks for that student only. See Why do I see "Write a quiz"?.
  • Don't want to write one? Choose Admin certify in the same menu to credit the student's reading instead. See Change a retake date or certify.
