kwizNET Online Curriculums - FAQ
(Return to Main FAQ Page)

Q70504. I would love to see a sample lesson to get a feel for how the curriculum is. I've looked at the online quiz available but am not able to view worksheets or anything else. Could you post pics with maybe the word sample across them or something to protect your work? I think it would help you sell your product. Thanks.

Here is a sample:

Q70330. The Curriculum Page takes a long time to load.  After every quiz, my student has to wait for the Curriculum Page to load.  Is there a way to speed this up?
Yes, one way to avoid waiting for the Curriculum Page to load is to open the Quiz Page in a new window.  To do this, from My kwizNET Page, select a Curriculum Page.  Once you are on the Curriculum Page, right click on the Chapter Name (instead of left clicking).  The Chapter/Quiz Page will open in a new window.  Complete and submit the quiz.  Check your score and close the Quiz Window.  You will then go back to the Curriculum Page.  After you do several quizzes, you may reload the Curriculum Page to see the updated scores.  This approach will avoid waiting for the Curriculum Page to load after every quiz! 

Q60822. How do I make a workbook using my online subscription?
Since the online system offers benefits such as instant scoring and progress tracking, for most users the online system is the preferred way of using kwizNET. However, if you do not have a reliable Internet access, you may print worksheets and make your own workbook. To make your own workbook, please follow these instructions:
  • Login to kwizNET using your account information.
  • Go to your curriculum page, for example, Grade 5 Math. Print this page and use it as a contents page for your workbook.
  • Go to the chapter or chapters you would like to include in your workbook and go to the worksheet mode. For example, Decimal Differences.
  • If needed, change the text size using your browser options. For example, with Internet Explorer, go to View -> Text Size -> Larger. Making the text size larger may be useful if you student has trouble reading smaller text.
  • Adjust your print settings. Maximize the printing area by changing the margins and removing any unnecessary headers and footers. In Internet Explorer, you can change your print settings using File -> Page Set Up.
  • Print the worksheets and arrange them in a binder.
Q60820.  What are "Practice Points" and how do they change?
kwizNET Curriculum Page shows practice points along with the average score for each chapter.  As the name implies, the practice points are intended to measure the amount of practice the student has for a given chapter and  are based on the number of questions (including repeated questions) the student answers correctly.  The Practice Points for each chapter keep growing when the student  redoes the quiz for that chapter.  The practice points are useful in a relative sense -- if the practice points for a chapter are higher than another chapter with the same number of questions, then you know that the student has attempted the former chapter more times than the latter chapter.

Q60607.  Does the online subscription allow my child to redo the lessons/quizzes?
Yes, your child can do each quiz as many times as needed.  Infact, kwizNET Learning System keeps track of the practice that a child had for each lesson.  The curriculum page shows "Practice Points" that are based on the number of questions (including repeated questions) the child answered correctly.  The Practice Points for each chapter keep growing when the child redoes the quiz for that chapter.

Q60606.  I have purchased one online subscription.  If one child uses a lesson, will it be available to do again by another child?
Each online subscription is intended to keep track of progress of one student only.  If you have multiple students, we recommend purchasing additional subscriptions.  However, you may print worksheets as many times as needed to teach children within one household or within one non-commercial class room.  Using one individual subscription for commercial purpose is not allowed by our terms of sale.  For commercial use, please contact us for volume discounts or licensing options.

Q60527.  I am not receiving emails from kwizNET.  Please help.

  • Make sure that the email address you have given us (on our Contact Us form) is correct.

Q51211.  I find the default text size in the quizzes and worksheets too small or too large.  How can I change it?

Q51124.  How can I get unlimited worksheets?
All kwizNET quizzes and printable worksheets marked as "WIZ Math" are computer generated.  Therefore, you will get a new worksheet every time you refresh the page (simply press F5 in Internet Explorer).  For example, try the following quizzes (refresh the web page to get a new worksheet every time):

  • While doing online quizzes, let your student keep a paper and pencil handy for doing any background calculations. Printable worksheets have space for doing any needed calculations.
  • After a concept is learned, have your student do enough quizzes or worksheets till he/she has mastered the concept (usually means 90% or higher score)

That is correct. You will get unlimited access to the grade(s) you subscribe to. They can all be printed at your convenience (each worksheet includes 10 questions and answers on a separate page).
