Accelerated Reader Monitor Password – Accelerated Reader

The Accelerated Reader monitor password is used in the following circumstances:

You can require it to be entered by the teacher or quiz monitor before and after quizzes. This is set in the Password Requirement preference.
The monitor password is required to stop a student quiz or to delete an unfinished quiz.
You can allow the monitor password to be used by the teacher or quiz monitor to

override book and interest level restrictions (as set in the Monitor Password Override for Book/Interest Level preference)
override date and time restrictions set in the Dates and Times for Accelerated Reader preference
allow students to retake a quiz based on the setting of the Quiz Retake Restrictions preference

The monitor password is set for each class in the Monitor Password - Reading Quizzes preference. See the steps below to check or set the password.

Note that you can set the monitor password for each class. Star tests have a separate monitor password preference; be sure to use the Monitor Password - Reading Quizzes preference for Accelerated Reader quizzes.

Who can do this with default permissions?

District Level Administrators, School Level Administrators, Teachers

District level administrators can set the preference for all classes at all schools. School level administrators can set the preference for all classes at their schools. Teachers can set the preference for their classes. Other staff cannot set the preference unless they have been granted special permissions, but they can view the settings.

Select Accelerated Reader Independent Reading or one of the Star products on the Home page and then choose Preferences from the menu.
Select Monitor Password - Reading Quizzes under the Class Preferences on the Preferences page.
To choose the classes that you want to set the preference for, select the link under the preference name.

If necessary, select a school in the first column. In the right column, you can either select All Classes and Groups or choose Select Classes and Groups and check the classes. (You can search the items in a column by clicking within that column and then typing Ctrl+F or control-F on the keyboard.) When you're done, select Apply.
Your classes are listed, and you can see the current monitor password for reading quizzes for each class. For each class, enter the monitor password that you want to use. Note: Monitor passwords are case-sensitive, so be sure to use the same capitalization that you expect your teachers to use (for example, MonitorPW is different from monitorpw).

If you want to use the same setting for all of the selected classes, select Set All above the table.
