WHY UTILIZE SCHOOLNET
FOR ASSESSMENTS?
 Pre-written practice questions and answers similar to those
used on NCFEs
 Online testing format and experience similar to that of NCFE
 Quick and ef ficient way to collect data from a classroom
assessment to determine which concepts are still giving
students trouble
 Results populate into gradebook
 Students can immediately begin test corrections after test
completion while thinking is still fresh in their memory
