How can I reset my child's diagnostic test?

If the diagnostic places a child too high or too low, they may be seeing questions which are too difficult or easy for them. This might happen, for example, if an older sibling has helped or if the child was rushing during the diagnostic test.

If this has occurred, we recommend resetting the diagnostic. Resetting the diagnostic will not remove any pets or coins. 

  1. Log into your parent account and click the name of the child you'd like to reset the diagnostic for.
  2. Click 'report' under the subject you're resetting the test for (math, spelling, or grammar).

    The diagnostic will appear on your child's dashboard the next time they log in. 

Note: If your child is linked to a school, you will not be able to reset the diagnostic from your parent account. A teacher will need to reset the diagnostic for your child from their teacher account.
