Issue:
How do I create a list of Accelerated Reader quizzes to post
on our school's website?
Resolution:
To create a text file, follow the steps below for your
version of Accelerated Reader:
Accelerated Reader

1)
Start your Accelerated Reader Teacher Program.
2)
Select Tests from
the View menu. You should now see a
list of all of your installed tests.
3)
Sort your titles. Select your sort option from the View
menu (by Test Number, by Title, by Author, by Reading Level, by Point Value).
4)
Choose Select All
from the Edit menu.
5)
Select Reports from
the Tests menu.
6)
Run the Test List report. Click once on “Test List,” and click
the [OK] button. If you don’t see the
“Test List” report scroll down to find it.
7)
Once the program generates the report, click the [Save]
button. In the dialog box that appears, specify the name of the report and
location to save the report. Make sure
to choose a location you will remember. Now you have a file that you can post
to your web site**.
**Note: If you
are working on a Macintosh workstation, you will need to run this utility to
switch the format of the report to a text file, click here to
download the Report Type Changer Utility.
To Use the Report
Type Changer:
1)
Once you have downloaded the Report Type Changer Utility,
double click on it to start it. You
will see a navigation window.
2)
Navigate to the report file you just saved, and double click
on it.
3)
You won’t see anything happen on the screen, but you can now
open the file in SimpleText and post it to your web site. (If the file is too
large for SimpleText, open it in another word processing program.)
