More about how to find quizzes

You can use the Sort by drop-down list to sort the list by title (A to Z or Z to A) or by relevance to a keyword that you search for.



To find specific quizzes, use the search field to search for them. You can search by words in the title, description, or article.

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.



To clear any filters that you have selected, click Clear All at the bottom of the filter pop-up window.

To close the filter window and see the results for the filters you have chosen, select Close in the bottom-right corner of the filter window. The quizzes that match your criteria will be listed, and you will see the filters you applied below the search field. To remove any of the filters and see the adjusted list of quizzes, select X () on that filter. To remove all filters, select Clear All to the right of the filters.
