Create a Common Assessment as an Administrator

Common Assessments on Quizizz are formative assessments collaboratively designed by administrators and teachers. A Common Assessment can be administered to all students at a grade level and course across the entire school year.

As a District Administrator, you can use Common Assessments to monitor student progress across your school district. It enables you to make necessary adjustments to help teachers and students meet the required learning standards.

This article will discuss how you can create, share, and monitor a Common Assessment and access reports.

To learn more, take a look at Common Assessments: An Overview.

Common Assessments are available as an add-on with the Quizizz Schools & Districts Plans. To access this feature set, reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Sales Representative, or email sales@quizizz.com.
