QUESTION
I have created several basic math fact quizzes, some labeled "Practice" and others are the actual quiz. After the student passes the practice quiz, it is removed from his assigned test list. I would like the Practice quizzes to remain in each student's list, even if they pass, so that they can practice as much as they like. Is there a way?
ANSWER
Every test you assign to a class automatically has a separate practice version available.
On your "See Tests" page click on a test name to view or edit the test details.
On the top of the page for editing a test you'll see two URLs, one for the class test, the other for a practice test.
The practice test URL launches a test which is identical to the real test, except that anyone can take the test and it does not record grades.
If you want students to be able to keep practicing, email them the link to the practice version of the test, or link to it from your school website.

How to let students take a test many times.
QUESTION
After students take a quiz, whether they do well or not, their name disappears from the list so they cannot take it again. I don't want them to advance to the next level until they are proficient so I have leveled tests. However, is it possible for them to remain on the list until they are proficient or forever? If yes, how do I make that happen?
ANSWER
On your "See Tests" page in your teacher account, you can click on a
test name to configure specific options for a test. One of the
options is to Save all grades OR to Save grades greater or equal than
a certain score. If you set the required score to 100 (or any grade >
0) then students will have to retake the test until they achieve the
required score.
When you set a minimum required score, the grades which are lower
than your required score will not appear in your grades table.
However, you can view these discarded grades. If you check a test on
the "See Tests" page and click the "Grades" button, you'll see a
report of all the grades for that test. If some grades were discarded
because they did not meet the minimum score, you'll see a "Discarded
grades" link, which takes you to a similar report, but one which shows
you a report of all the discarded grades. You can also choose to
accept any of the discarded grades and move it from the discarded to
the saved category.
Alternatively, you can also delete a grade in the grades table
(click on Edit, select the grade, then click Erase). Once a grade is
deleted for a test, the student's name will reappear in the list for
testing.
