Understanding Online Test Procedures

Why are we doing online tool training?

• To practice types of questions we will encounter on the LEAP test.

• To practice with the types of tools on the LEAP test.

• Because I have to.

• Looking at how the LEAP test is set up will make me more comfortable when I take the real test.

Answer explanation

When practicing with the online tools test, I can only do it once.

• true

• false

If you DON'T see the three shaded bubbles, it is ok to begin the test.

• FALSE

On the LEAP test, the simulus or the passage is on the left side and the questions are on the right side.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Part A/Part B questions can have more than one answer.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The "Cross off" tool is used to:

• select an answer

• highlight text

• eliminating answers I know are wrong

• moving to the next question

When taking the LEAP test, I will get in trouble if I read the questions before I read the passage.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Reading the question before you answer can help you look for the answer while you read! It gives you a purpose for reading!

The line guide helps me keep my place while reading on the computer screen.

When I put a flag on a question, what happens?

• The test will remind me to go back to it before I submit the test.

• It tells your test administrator that you need help.

• It sends a message to your teacher.

• It will remain blank and you won't be able to come back to it.

Answer explanation

When you flag a question, the flag will remain there until you remove it. It is a reminder to go back to a question you were unsure about or didn't want to answer right away.

When answering a constructed response question, what are some tools you would want to use before answering?

• the highlighter tool

• the notepad tool

• the crossoff tool

• the spell checker tool

Answer explanation

The highlighter tool can help you not only find the important parts of the question to make sure you answer all parts of the question, but also to highlight evidence from the texts that support your answer.

The note taker can be used to brainstorm any ideas/evidence you find and want to use in your writing.

The spell checker will ensure that the person that reads my writing can better understand any spelling mistakes I may make.
