How do Bookroo quizzes work?

Updated

Every Bookroo quiz is built fresh from a bank of questions written for that book. Each quiz is drawn from across the whole book, and retakes get different questions.

Length

Book Questions
Picture books and early readers 5
Most chapter books 10
100,000+ words 15
200,000+ words 20

Passing

  • The default pass mark is 60% for 5- and 10-question quizzes and 70% for 15- and 20-question quizzes.
  • You can set each length anywhere from 60% to 80% under Settings → Book Quizzes → Minimum Score to Pass.

Retakes

  • A student who doesn't pass can try again after 14 days by default. Change it (3–90 days) with Retake Wait Days in Settings.
  • Retakes favor questions the student hasn't seen yet, and answer choices are reshuffled. Memorizing the last attempt doesn't help.
  • There's no cap on attempts. Once a quiz is passed, it can't be retaken.
  • To let one student retry sooner, see Change a retake date or certify.

Other quiz settings

Settings → Book Quizzes also has:

  • Require Password: students need a teacher-entered password to start a quiz.
  • Resume Quiz: an unfinished quiz is abandoned after 8 days.
