Four ways to practice spelling and vocabulary through choice and typing

AllForTest Quiz uses four formats based on the learning goal and the way learners answer. SB practices spelling, while VQ practices vocabulary meaning. MC means choosing an answer from options; typing means entering the answer yourself.

For new words, start with choice questions to distinguish the options, then move to typing when the word becomes familiar. The four formats bring the same vocabulary back through different kinds of recall.

Practical steps

  • SB MC · Spelling choice · 1 point: Listen to the word and choose the correct spelling.
  • VQ MC · Vocabulary choice · 2 points: Listen to the meaning or clue and choose the correct word.
  • SB · Spelling typing · 3 points: Listen to the word and type its spelling.
  • VQ · Vocabulary typing · 5 points: Listen to the meaning or clue and type the correct word.

Worked example

Example: When learning “quiet,” first distinguish it from “quite” in a choice question. After review, hide the options and type “quiet” to check whether the spelling can be retrieved independently.
