Using the class home page The Edit Class option can be used to add or remove students from a class. It can also be used to configure a class home page. You can customize the page by adding your own text or a class picture. Click on the link to see what your page looks like. Remember that if you make any changes, you'll have to click Save before the changes appear on the home page itself.

The home page is an entry point for all of your students to take the tests which have been assigned to them. It may be convenient to link to this page from your school or personal website. Keep in mind, however, that when a page is made public on the Internet, it is public to anyone who is using the Internet. For this reason, we've included the option of defining student passwords for the home page. You, the teacher, set the passwords. You could choose one password for everyone in the whole class, or a different password for each student. By doing this, you avoid the risk that a complete stranger stumbles upon your page and begins taking your class tests.

More than math - using the Public Test Library Below the Math Tests section of your menu is a section called Other Tests. This is for matching and multiple choice tests which may cover any subject. If you want to design your own matching or multiple choice test click "Design". You might also find a test which is useful to you by clicking "Browse". This allows you to see tests which have been created and made public by other teachers.

If you are browsing the public tests and see one you'd like to use, there are two options: Assign and Import. If you choose Assign the test will immediately be made ready for your students, with its own new test code. If you choose Import, the test instead is copied to your Design area where you can modify the questions.

Multiple choice questions may include images. In order to ensure that the image you upload can be displayed in any student's browser, there are some restrictions on the images you can include. You may have to edit your image with an image editor on your computer. Most importantly, the image must be saved as a jpeg, gif or png file, and it must be smaller than 64k. ThatQuiz resizes images which are larger than 400x300 pixels so that they will fit with the question text even on small computer screens.

It is not necessary to make your own tests public so that students can test. Making a test public means that you are willing to share the test with other teachers. If you have older students who are very computer-savvy, it may be wise to delay making a test public until after they have tested. There is nothing to stop a student from registering himself/herself as a teacher and browsing the public test library to look at your tests the night before an exam! It's also possible that a public test could be found by an Internet search engine. If you do create a matching or multiple choice test which may be valuable to other teachers, we encourage you to make the test public after your own students have tested.

Preparing customized practice tests Did you ever want to have more control over the practice tests your students take? The buttons from the ThatQuiz home page give easy access to the most popular quiz types, but students are on their own for choosing the level and test length. If you want to make sure a student gets exactly the practice test he or she needs, it may be useful to create pre-configured practice tests.

After the test options for a practice test, there's a link called "Make URL". Click the link to get a specific URL for this test configuration, at the bottom of the page, for you to share with your students.
