They've come to class. They've read their textbook. They've done their homework. Now it's time for your students to step up to the challenge of Mindpoint Quiz Show Instructional Game. Find out how much they've learned in this fun, versatile game show. You determine the questions, tied directly to your curriculum. Your students race against the clock, the computer, or each other to give the correct answers.

Quiz Show helps students prepare for formal tests by answering curriculum-specific questions in a game show environment. It is fun, entertaining, and, yes, educational. Question banks tied directly to your student's class work allow them to review the material, see which areas they still need to study, and get explanations for the answers they get wrong.

Assessment is a key part of a teacher's work. And finding ways to keep students motivated is a growing challenge. That's where Quiz Show comes in. Quiz Show makes preparing for tests fun. With Quiz Show, drill and kill becomes drill and thrill!

Create Classes

The instructor utilities program that accompanies Quiz Show lets you create and manage up to 30 classes. This is helpful for sorting students when viewing their reports. You can also customize various preferences for each class-including items such as randomizing game questions, awarding bonus points, enabling audio, and more.

View Player Reports

Improving student performance begins with useful information. That's why Quiz Show includes a variety of easy-to-follow reports for each individual student. At the end of each game, students can review and print out a report containing each question, their answer to the question, and the correct answer. The report is a useful study aid for students.

Teachers can view a summary report of each student's performance. Student performance reports include results by question set, state objective, text objective, and topic. Use this information to determine your students' strengths and areas that require improvement.

Sample report

In addition to individual student reports, Quiz Show includes class performance reports. See how your class is performing on each question set, state objective, text objective, or topic. Don't wait until after your students take a test to find out if they were prepared. Let Quiz Show give you the information ahead of time. If you find that your students are struggling on a particular chapter, state objective, or topic, reteach that topic and let your students play Quiz Show again to see if their performance improves. Quiz Show helps students succeed on tests...and have fun doing it.

Test Item Banks

Because Quiz Show is powered by ExamView, you can take advantage of the thousands of available publisher-created ExamView question banks and tests, including Pearson Test Item Banks. Chances are you already have ExamView test item banks. If so, simply open the banks in Quiz Show and you are ready to go. If not, contact your publisher and request ExamView question banks.
