Gill,

The 500 Teacher Made Quiz cap was established by Renaissance Learning very early in the development of Accelerated Reader. Over the proceeding 20+ years that AR has been used around the world there has been only a few quests for the cap to be lifted. At this point in time the 500 Quiz Ca is still in place.

I have put a case to RL that the cap should be lifted. Effectively the request is being considered at the moment.

The answer wont come tomorrow, but the case is progressing along the development process for consideration.

I fully support the request to be able to add more than 500 teacher/student written quizzes. At Central Coast Grammar School the Library Staff have written many quizzes over the years and having ‘maxed-out’ at 500, then have to delete quizzes in order to add quizzes for new, popular books that are not available from AR. The ability to add more than the allotted 500 would be the obvious answer. Thanks for your consideration to this request.

I have now used all of the available numbers for teacher made quizzes. i have asked whether i coould purchase another 500 numbers from 1399 onwards to write further quizzes, but unfortunately was told “no”.
I would like Renaissance Learning to look at this possibility as a reward to schools who purchase $1000 worth of quizzes for instance.

Trinidad,

I agree, students writing their own quizzes is great for extending reading into writing.

Cheers

I really like the idea of students writing their own quizzes, great for comprehension.
