If you are on a server, simply promote your students at the end of 5th grade
(through the AR teacher section). Then the sixth grade teacher will have a
full record of tests taken in 5th grade. If you are using stand alone
computers, you would have to export data to a disk (from 5th grade computers
) and upload it to the 6th grade computers. Either way, it isn't hard.

Hi, Karen,
You'll probably get many replies to this post....
I assume your computers are not networked. If you have a network, the names
and data just remain in the system from one year to the next. If you are
*not* networked and students are working on stand-alone computers where AR
is loaded, you would just need to export all the student data at the end of
grade 5, and then import it into your machines for grade 6.... The data will
all be there and the students won't be able to re-test on a book they've
already tested on.....
Hope this helps....

Dear Karen,
The beauty of a computerized reading management system is that the
computer keeps track of all of this for you. If you are using stand
alone computers you just export the student records to a disk then
import them into another computer. So your sixth graders will not be
able to retest on the same test next year. The manual tells you how to
do it.
We are a small K-8 school in Kansas and use AR with First through
eighth grades. We do not move the first grade records so they can
retest on all the books again in second grade. We feel they need all
the practice they can get. We've had great success with Accelerated
Reader. I've taught for many years and have experienced many education
ideas that have come and gone, but AR is by far the best idea I've seen
in a long time. If I can help in anyway, please let me know.

Hi Karen,
I'm not sure if you've already gotten your answer, but in the setup program
you can tell it to show only the current year's tests. The past years are
still in the computer so that the students cannot repeat the same tests, but
their points, reading level, percentage correct and all are only shown for
the current year. I've only done the setup once so my mind is fuzzy on the
exact steps to take, but email me if you still need help and I'll check and
see exactly what to click on and everything.

We have always had multiple grades using AR. There is a way to set
the preferences so that once a student has taken a test he is
prevented from taking it again regardless of grade level. We even
imported the student records from the elementary school at the
beginning of the year so those students could not take tests at the
middle school they had previously taken. Now I will admit while I
know this happens, I do not know the specifics because someone else
handles the technical end of our program. I would just call tech
support and have them walk you through what you are wanting to do.

The computer keeps the information for the books that have been read. We
have 1-5 in our building using AR. When our 5th graders go to the middle
school, we export their information and send it on a disk to the librarian.
We really like AR. Our fifth graders have really taken off this year.
Good luck

You kind of confused me, because I don't see any need to put sixth graders
in a new file. The AR database keeps track of ANY tests taken by ANY student
regardless of their grade or how many years they have been testing with you.
For instance, we have 8th graders here who started with AR in 6th and the
program maintains the records of all their tests from the first one they
took. If they try to read the same book again and test on it, the software
will refuse them the test, even if they took it two years ago. When our
fifth graders transfer schools to middle school, we will import their
records from the other school, so that when they get here, they will not be
able to test on anything they tested on in fifth. Unless you go in and
deliberately delete a test, that test stays on their record until you delete
the student from the database.
