Reading and listening tests, administered digitally
In languages you test reading, listening and vocabulary. In TestWisely you attach a reading text or audio fragment to a group of questions, decide how often a student may play a fragment, and a student types é, ß or ñ with a single tap.
In the Questions step, click Add reading text (Voeg leestekst toe) and paste the text with a title. With + and − you decide how many questions the text belongs to. The student sees the text next to the question, or above it on a narrow screen. If a student has read-aloud switched on, TestWisely reads the text aloud sentence by sentence, in the language of the subject.

Audio fragment with a playback limit
With Add audio fragment (Voeg luisterfragment toe) you attach an audio file to a group of questions. Under Max plays (Max afspelen) you choose unlimited, 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x. That counter applies to the whole group: 2x means 2x in total, not per question. The student has no seek bar, so skipping forward or back is not possible.

Reading test, listening test or mixed
In the Material step, under "What kind of test?" (Wat voor toets?), you choose a Reading test, a Listening test or Mixed. A reading test starts with a reading text, a listening test with an audio fragment. With the question type Select text (Tekst aanklikken), the student clicks words in a text. If AI is switched on for your school, Generate questions (Vragen genereren) creates reading comprehension questions for your reading text.

Accent keyboard for French, German and Spanish
In a French, German or Spanish test, the student sees a bar below an open question and a fill-in-the-blank question with the characters of that language, such as é, ç, ß, ñ and ¿. A tap places the character at the cursor position. With the Capitals button the student types É or Ñ.

Words per chapter
If your textbook with a word list is on your Bookshelf (Boekenplank), you choose the chapter in Flashcards (Leerkaarten) and tick the sections. With Create flashcard set (Leerkaartenset maken), your classes practise the words in class and at home. If your school has Tests, you turn the same words into a vocabulary test: fill in the blank, multiple choice or matching, from or into Dutch.
