How does a student take a book quiz?

A student opens the book on Bookroo, goes to the Quiz tab and clicks Take quiz.

Take the quiz

1. Find the book: search for it, or tap it in the Reading Journey on the student's dashboard.

2. Open the Quiz tab. The Quiz Details box shows the number of questions and the score needed to pass. Every quiz has Audio Support.

3. If a password is needed, you type it into Monitor password. It's the one set under Settings → Book Quizzes → Require Password. Under Ask for it on, it can be asked only on books above a student's reading range, or with no known level (see Reading levels and ZPD). To skip it at school and keep it at home, or to allow quizzes only at school or at set hours, see When and where students take quizzes.

4. Click Take quiz.

5. For each question, the student picks an answer and clicks Submit answer. The speaker buttons read the question and each answer aloud.

   The question and answers can't be selected or copied. If the student switches to another tab, window or app during a question, the quiz says so, and you'll see it when you review the quiz (see See which questions a student missed).

6. After the last question, the results appear.

Students set to Admin controlled can take a quiz only after you've recorded the book as read for them.

Finishing on time

• When your class's students must finish a quiz in one go (the default), a quiz must be finished within 60 minutes. Closing it early asks "Are you sure?", and Abandon quiz ends the attempt.
• When they can leave a quiz and finish it within 8 days, the student can close the quiz and come back within 8 days. The button then says Continue quiz.

Passing and retakes

• Pass: the book is marked as read, and the student can add its words to their Word Vault. A passed quiz can't be taken again.
• No pass, or abandoned: the student sees the date they can retake it. That's 14 days later by default (your class's retake wait, under Settings → Quizzes). A quiz abandoned before the first answer has no wait, and one abandoned with fewer than half the questions answered opens the next day. To let them in sooner, see Change a retake date or certify.

When a book has no quiz yet

The Quiz tab says the quiz "hasn't been finalized yet". The student clicks Request quiz. Most requests are ready within a few days, and the quiz then appears under Quizzes You Requested on their dashboard. See Quiz request statuses.

A book that isn't out yet shows "This book isn't out yet" and its release date. Its quiz can be requested or taken once it's out.

Some books never get a quiz, such as board books, box sets, wordless books and joke books. For those the tab says "This book does not support a quiz."
