Taking an AR Quiz on a NEO 2

Before students can take AR quizzes on NEO 2s, make sure all of the set up steps have been completed.

1. The teacher's computer must be on, with the Receiver connected.
2. Turn the NEO 2 on by pressing on/off and press applets.
3. Press the down arrow until the cursor is next to Accelerated Reader. Then, press enter.
4. The first time you use the Accelerated Reader SmartApplet, it will list the Networks (Renaissance Receivers connected to computers) that are available. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the network you want to connect to. Then, press enter.
   
   If you have connected to a network before, you may be asked if you want to stay connected to the last network used on the NEO 2. Press Y for yes or N for no. If you chose no, choose another network and press enter.

The name you gave the Renaissance Receiver is the name the students will see in the networks list. Make sure to tell your students which network (Receiver name) they need to connect to.

5. When the program asks for your user name and password, type your user name and press enter or tab. Then, type your password and press enter.
6. If you have an unfinished quiz, the screen will ask if you want to finish it. Press Y for yes or N for no. If you choose yes, go to step 14. If you choose no, the teacher or quiz monitor must enter the monitor password.
7. If you are in more than one Accelerated Reader class, your classes will be listed. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the class that you are taking this quiz for. Then, press enter.
8. On the next screen, use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the type of quiz you want to take (Reading Practice [English and Spanish], Vocabulary Practice, or Other Reading [English and Spanish]). Then, press enter.
9. For Reading Practice and Other Reading quizzes, the Find RP Quiz screen will appear next. Type the quiz number and press enter. (If you chose to take an Other Reading Quiz, and none are available for your class, the screen will notify you. Press enter.)
   
   For Vocabulary Practice Quizzes, you will be asked how you want to find the quiz: by quiz number or by matching another quiz already taken. Highlight an answer and press enter. If you chose to find the quiz by quiz number, type the number and press enter. If you chose to match a quiz already taken, highlight the quiz name and press enter. If there was only one matching Vocabulary Practice Quiz, you won't be asked to select one. If you have no matching quizzes, press Y to take another quiz, then go back to step 8.
10. If the quiz is available in both English and Spanish, the screen will list both. Use the arrow keys to select the quiz and press enter.
11. If you are asked how the book was read, use the arrow keys to select an answer; then, press enter.
12. The quiz title will be shown. To take the quiz, press Y for yes. Then, press enter.

If the screen asks for the monitor password, the teacher or quiz monitor must enter the Accelerated Reader monitor password and press enter.

Note: If you are not allowed to take the quiz, the screen will notify you and ask if you want to take a different quiz. Press Y for yes or N for no. The message may appear for any of these reasons:

• There are date or time restrictions.
• You are not allowed to take quizzes.
• Students are not allowed to take this quiz.
• You have taken the quiz before.
13. NEO 2 will show you one question in the quiz. To answer each question, press the letter for the answer you want to choose; then, press enter to go to the next question.

If the question is long and you need to scroll to see all of the question, use the up or down arrow keys to scroll in the question; then, press the right arrow key or tab to switch to the answers. If you need to scroll to see all of the answers, use the up and down arrow keys to scroll.

To stop a quiz, press crtl+A or cmd+A. Then, ask the quiz monitor or teacher to enter the AR monitor password and press enter.

14. After you enter the last question, you may be asked how you liked the book. Press the letter for the answer you want to choose. Then, press enter.
15. If you are asked for the monitor password, ask the teacher or quiz monitor to enter the password and press enter.
16. The RP Score Summary will show you how you did on the quiz. It may also show you information about the points you've earned.

If you are not asked to see the questions you missed, press enter.

If the summary asks if you want to see the questions you missed, press Y for yes or N for no and press enter. If you choose yes, you can see each missed question, your answer, and the correct answer. Press enter after you read each one.

17. A TOPS Report may be sent to the default printer for the teacher's computer. If the program asks what language you would like to print the report in, use the arrow keys to highlight your choice and press enter.
