To find quizzes that meet specific criteria, click Filters to the right of the search field. Then, select the filter that you want to use on the left. You can choose to see quizzes quizzes worth a certain range of points (article quizzes are worth one point), quiz titles within a specific book-level range (ATOS and/or Lexile® Measure), and/or quizzes published in a specific date range. For filters with ranges, drag the two circles to set the lower and upper ends of the range. In the example below, ATOS Book Level ranges from 4 to 6 will be included.
