User Manual
How AccelTest Works
You can use AccelTest to create, assign and score the assignments that you want to
give your students, or you can use it to score assignments that exist outside of
AccelTest. You can also use AccelTest for in-class assignments.
AccelTest also calculates overall student marks, which are based on the dates
teachers set for the school year and terms and on the grading scale teachers have
chosen.
Using AccelTest to Create, Assign and Score Assignments
1. You create assignments.
2. You add the assignments to your class Record Book.
3. If you did not assign the assignments as you added them to the class Record
Book, you assign the assignments later. If students need printed copies of the
assignments, they will be printed when you assign them.
4. The assignments are scored in one of three ways:
• Students enter their answers on Renaissance Responders or NEO 2
during a student-paced session, and the assignments are then scored
automatically by the software.
• Students enter their answers on AccelScan cards, and you use the
AccelScan scanner to scan the cards for automatic scoring.
• You score the assignments manually.
Using AccelTest to Score Assignments You Already Have
1. You create a score key for the existing assignments. (The assignments are not
in the AccelTest software—only the score key is.)
2. You add the score key to your class Record Book.
3. You assign the score key to your students.
4. The assignments are scored in one of three ways:
• Students enter their answers on Renaissance Responders or NEO 2
during student-paced sessions, and the assignments are then scored
automatically by the software.
• Students enter their answers on AccelScan cards, and you use the
AccelScan scanner to scan the cards for automatic scoring.
• You score the assignments manually.
Using AccelTest with Teacher-Paced Sessions (for In-Class Assignments)
1. You create the assignment.
2. You start a teacher-paced session and select the assignment. You can project
the assignment, use PowerPoint slides, ask students questions verbally, or
use printed copies for students.
3. Using Renaissance Responders or NEO 2, students complete the assignment
in class at the pace you set in the session. These assignments may or may not
be scored, depending on the choice you made as you started the session. If
you chose to score the assignments, the software will score them
automatically, and the scores will appear in your Record Book after the session
is complete.
Assignment
