To add a student to your class, follow these steps.

2. If the student does NOT appear on the list of students, this means the student is already enrolled in the class, in the trash can within the class, or is not in the database. If searched for the user (CTRL +F) and didn’t find the student you can, “Add new user”.
3. In order to “Add new user”, Right Click on the class and select “Add new user”.
4. Type in the student’s First Name, Last Name, Log-on Name (e.g. student ID), and Password (e.g. password = birthdate in the format MMDDYY). Change the “Interface” to “Intermediate” and select “Apply”.

If you look in the lower left hand corner, there will be an indicator as to whether the student earned “0 out of 10” or “10 out of 10” points for that question. Remember, all mastery and practice tests have 10 questions on the test. When you find a question a student missed, review this question with the student. In order to display the correct answer, click on the green checkmark at the top of the screen. Have your students find the answer in their notes.
