The Testy pill in the top navigation opens Testy Coach, his own page. It opens with a greeting and a box reading Ask Testy anything. Whatever is typed there starts a conversation and is saved.
The four tiles
- New conversation starts a fresh thread.
- Mental maths opens a rapid fire drill. Choose Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division or Mixed, choose how many questions, and press Start drill. It runs one question at a time against a clock and finishes with correct answers, accuracy, the new level and the best time.
- Vocabulary practises the meanings of words from the TypingHub pathway, and carries a badge when words are due.
- Your progress opens the progress screen.
Next up and Quick start
Next up shows the open items from the study plan, each with a Go button, or Start with Testy where Testy can teach it directly. Quick start offers skills worth a go right now, and each one can be put aside.
Your conversations
Every thread is listed newest first and can be reopened. Finish puts one away when it is done with.
Your progress
The progress screen holds four things: Your plan, the same plan as on the dashboard; What Testy knows about you, the notes he has kept, each of which can be removed with Forget; Your map, how secure the student is across the fundamentals; and Today, two meters reading Working with Testy and Testy around the site, which are the two allowances.
If the page is not there
Younger students and accounts without tutor access are sent back to the dashboard, where the Testy dock still works. Year level on the profile is the usual reason, and support can check it.
