How to Take the Alpha Standardized Test

Welcome.

In this video, we'll walk you through how to take an alpha standardized test and highlight some helpful features along the way.

When you're ready to take your test, make sure that you are in a space that's free of distractions and that you have enough time to complete the test in one sitting.

In addition to the test features in the toolbar at the top of your screen, the bookmark, Scratchpad, Crossout mode, the Magnifier, and the line reader, there are other test features available to ensure that you have a successful testing experience.

Multiple Choice Questions Most tests are multiple choice.

When you're ready to answer a question, simply click on the bubble next to your chosen answer.

Be careful not to click and drag across the text, as this will highlight it.

Rather than select your answer, just give the bubble a clean single click.

Once you're confident in your answer, click click the blue button to advance to the next question.

Text to speech or TTs during the test, you may have the option to use Text to Speech.

This feature, reads the question or answer choices aloud to you.

To enable it, simply click on the right facing arrow next to the question or answer choice you'd like.

Audio answer choices In a house, In a tree, in the sky, in the dirt Question Navigator While you can advance or go back to any question by pressing the buttons labeled Previous or Next, you can also navigate with the Question Navigator.

At any point during the test, you can use the Question Navigator to review your progress.

When you open it, you'll see the total number of questions on the test, how many you've already completed, and any questions you may have skipped.

You can click on any question at any time to go back in the Navigator.

Scrolling Some questions may contain more text or information than can fit on the screen at once.

When this happens, you'll notice a scroll bar on the side of the screen.

To review the rest of the content, simply click on the scroll bar and drag it down.

This will reveal any additional images or text or information you need in order to fully understand and answer the question.

You might also see the same feature within the multiple choice options.

Make sure you've scrolled through everything before selecting your answer.

Finishing the Test Once you've answered your last question, it's always a good idea to open the Question Navigator one more time.

Any unanswered questions will not be shaded in blue, making them easy to spot.

Simply click on the question, go back, and answer it before submitting.

Return to Question one.

Double check all of your answers and then finally submit.

And that's it.

You're all set to take the alpha standardized test with confidence.

Good luck.
