What are Quizzes?
NoRedInk Quizzes are formative or summative assessments that can be used to evaluate student learning. You can assign Quizzes either as a stand-alone activity or as a follow-up to practices students have completed before. There are two types of Quizzes available in NoRedInk:
- Quizzes
- Growth Quizzes
Growth Quizzes can be created to automatically compare students' results to their original assessment if they've completed a Unit Diagnostic.
Assigning a Quiz
When you're ready to assign a Quiz independently, you can choose topics from any of our skill categories or search for a specific topic in our Assignment Library to assess your students’ skills. Ready to assign? Take a look at this article to learn how to create a Quiz!
When creating a Growth Quiz, this can be done after students have already completed a Unit Diagnostic or Quiz on the same topic(s). Ready to see how your students have grown? Check out this article to learn how to create a Growth Quiz!
Student experience
When taking a Quiz or a Growth Quiz, students progress through a series of questions to assess their skill level on the assigned topics. These questions can come in a variety of types. For example, some might involve clicking, highlighting, drag-and-drop, or typing.
Growth Quizzes will ask the same number of questions on the same topics as in the Unit Diagnostic or Quiz, but use new questions. Submitted answers are scored right away, and after completing the assignment, students will be able to correct any questions they got incorrect during remediation.

Once students are finished, they’ll receive a grade based on accuracy, and you can view class trends and individual performance broken down by skills.
With Growth Quizzes, you can compare results to see students’ progress and growth at a glance. However, a Growth Quiz can only be compared to assignments that it's connected to. For more information, be sure to check out this article on how to view your Quiz results!
