This can be found in our Teacher Corner.
We recently released a new feature that allows teachers to deliver assignments in ASSISTments in Test Mode. In this blog you'll learn what test mode is within ASSISTments. As well as how it affects the student experience and assignment report. Test Mode is a great way to check a student's progress on a standard or topic and to assess what they can do independently, helping you as their teacher develop specific interventions based on their individual needs.
