4. Quizzes

There are three types of quizzes in Accelerated Reader:

Reading Practice Quizzes – measure literal comprehension, so a teacher knows if a student has actually read and understood the book

These quizzes are either 5, 10 or 20 questions in length

Each student sees the same questions, though the answer is randomised to reduce copying amongst students

If the student has recently read a book from within their reading range, they will pass the quiz
