About Study Island

Our school has access to a great resource for preparing our kids for the Oklahoma CRTs, End-of-Instruction Exams, ACT tests and much, much more. It is a web-based program called Study Island, which is accessible to students from school or home. If you have internet access at home, your child can access Study Island to help prepare for all of these tests & also is a great tool to enhance learning in the classroom. We are excited about the results we have seen first hand last year and of all the potential benefits this program can bring to our students! We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity & hope that you begin today using this invaluable program! Please feel free to contact the school for more information or Study Island at 1-800-419-3191 or support@studyisland.com if you have any questions ....

Follow the instructions below, in order to use the program:

1. Go http://www.studyisland.com/

2. Enter your username and password at the upper left corner of the screen and click "Logon".
Note: Students will receive a username and password from their teacher at school. Please contact this year's teacher if your child has forgotten it or is a new student.

3. Click on the section tab (math, reading, etc.) that you wish to work on.

2. Click the "Pretest" in order to begin the pretest for the section. You must complete a minimum of 10
pretest questions before moving on to the other question groups.

3. Once you complete the "Pretest", you may work through the remainder of the question groups in any order you like. You must "pass" all question groups before taking the "Post Test".
To pass a question group, you must satisfy the group's passing requirements which are
based a minimum number of questions taken(usually 10) and a minimum percentage
correct(around 70%). A blue ribbon icon is displayed next to all passed question groups.

4. Once you have passed all the question groups in the section, you have to pass the "PostTest" for the section before the section is complete. Ignore this step if the section has no "Post Test".

5. When you pass all question groups in all sections, you have completed the program and are prepared for the state exams. We encourage you, however, to repeat sections as many times as you wish giving yourself more than the minimum 10 questions as there is a large test bank of questions with multiple lesson reviews that will better ensure your knowledge & preparation in the subject matter.
