Students Taking Tests

 

    

Some information on taking tests and surveys on this site:

To take a test or survey, find the language you are studying in the menu bar at left, and click on the relevant menu item.  For instance, to take a Japanese test or survey, you would click  on "Japanese Tests."

You then will see a login page.  You will need your login ID and password (available from your instructor) to access the test or survey.

Some important notes about character encodings and input methods!  If you are taking a test in one of the less commonly taught languages, you WILL be able to type in the language which your are studying (for instance, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew), and you can even do right-to-left typing.  However, you are best advised to use a PC to prevent (rare) difficulties with character encodings.  And what you write will not be legible to you, and will most likely appear as a chain of question marks,  unless the browser you are using is set to the correct character encoding .  To set the character encoding:

-Go to the View pulldown menu on your browser and select "Encoding" or "Character Encoding"

-Select a character encoding from the pulldown menu.  (For Japanese on a PC, for instance, you would select "Jpanese-  Auto-Select.")

Input methods and right-to-left keyboard entry settings are dependent on your computer platform, operating system, and the language you are studying.  Information on these things is best obtained from your instructor, who may have some preferences and requirements.
