Here goes, and you never know.
1 Open a google account
Just give an email and set up your password.
2 Now you have your own iGoogle. Customise as you fancy.
When it's lovley, go to google docs. It's in the 'more' section of the blue writing above iGoogle and the search bar.
Follow the steps and create a new form (Create new is under the google).
3 This new window is the form the people will fill out. NO TYPOS PLEASE!
4 Put the title in English, according to the subject of the test/quiz.
5 Write (or copy this in):Please translate the following into English/Spanish.
6 In the Sample question 1 box, put "First Name". Make it a required question and hit done.
7 In the next, "Surname", also making it required. Duplicate the box (beside the pencil). You need 10 copies.
8 Next to the questions - 10 each time is good for marking.
9 Put in the word or phrase you want to be the question.
No text under it.
Change the question type to multiple choice. NOT REQUIRED QUESTIONS
10 Put in the answers (one correct, three false), and so on til the 10 are done. Save and exit.
11 Now when you go back to google docs tou will see the form file there - click into it.
The questions have all appeared as column titles. After the last one, in M, write 'Score'.
(A= Timestamp, B= First Name, C=Surname, and so on).
12 Take the test once to set up the key - Go to the form section of the top menu and go to GO TO LIVE FORM.
Take the test again to establish a 100% score - one that matches the key exactly. Exit.
13 Now back on the spread sheet, copy the following formula into box N3:
=(IF(D3=$D$2,1,0)+IF(E3=$E$2,1,0)+IF(F3=$F$2,1,0)+IF(G3=$G$2,1,0)+IF(H3=$H$2,1,0)+IF(I3=$I$2,1,0)+IF(J3=$J$2,1,0)+IF(K3=$K$2,1,0)+IF(L2=$L$3,1,0)+IF(M3=$M$2,1,0))
Copy and paste it into the entire column.
14 This will allow the programme to get a score of correct answers and put it in the score column on the spreadsheet.
Do the test a few more times to check that the answers and scores are coming out ok.
You might find that the newly submitted answers have shot to the bottom of the page. This is , I think, because they cant go before a formula, or something like that. Either way, it can be easily be fixed buy cutting below and pasting it (FROM THE 'A' OUT) above.
15 Go to Syngespan and pick something you would like to make a test out of.
16 When you have decided, come back here and write down what you propose to do. One or two at a time please. This way, we wont duplicate work.
I need all of the Top Verbs For Junior Cert page covered.
Thanks
Good Luck.
