How do I complete a quiz?
- Make sure you are prepared by going over all of the instructions and any related study guides and check-ups. The quizzes are closed-book.
- Open the quiz. You can not go back to previous questions, so make sure you do your best on the first attempt. Every course except AP courses and World Languages allow for 3 attempts to get to 70% or better. If you achieve 70% or better on the first or second attempt you don't get any more attempts.
- Quizzes are automatically scored. You will see your score right away.
- If you don't pass after the third attempt email jcihak@marketsquare.education to get your course unlocked.
How do I complete a teacher scored assignment?
Math & Science & World Language Apex Courses
- Print and complete (hand write) the assignment (this includes teacher scored tests). Be sure to show your work.
- Make sure your writing is legible. If you use pencil, make sure it is dark enough to easily read. If your teacher can’t read it, they can’t give you the score you deserve.
All Other Apex Courses
- Open the Apex assignment and “Select All” from your menubar.
- Copy and paste the entire assignment (this includes teacher scored tests) into an Microsoft Word* document or other word processing program (text edit, Google Doc**, etc).
- Now you can type your answers in the document. All of these assignments must be typed. Handwritten work is not accepted.
*Teachers prefer Microsoft Word if you have it.
**If using Google Docs, make sure you save your document as a word doc or PDF to your computer prior to submitting it. You can not submit an assignment via a google doc link.

How Do I participate in a Discussion?
Apex
Discussions are simple! Just go to the last page and type your discussion post right there! Here's a How To!
Don't forget to read how discussions are scored - many require more than one post to earn full credit. Keep in mind you can post more than once per discussion.
PS: Your teacher doesn't get a notification of discussion posts. If your discussion was posted over a week ago please send your teacher an email asking them nicely to look.
Buzz
Type your discussion right into the discussion post. You will see it there.
How do I ask my teacher a question?
How do I do a lab in my science class?
The cool thing about Apex lab science classes is that they offer both wet and dry lab materials. What is the difference? The wet lab provides you with a list of materials you can go out and purchase so you can do the experiment at home. The dry lab provides you all of the data you would gain from doing the lab yourself or from watching someone else do it. Market Square Education accepts the dry lab. Students are welcome to do the wet lab at their own expense.
How do I do a spoken assignment?
All World Language courses require completion of spoken assignments. Spoken assignments can be easily recorded and sent to your teacher. It's easiest to record audio using your cell phone's recording feature. Once you have it complete - email it directly to your teacher.
Make sure to clearly label your email to your teacher with the corresponding assignment number.
What do I do if I need my calendar adjusted?
If you run into something in Apex that says "you don't have access to this until..." please send an email to info@marketsquare.education with the date you hope to complete. This will not impact your course completion date. It will simply redo your calendar to give you access to assignments quicker.
How do I get my final grade/transcript?
Once you have correctly submitted all of your teacher-scored work, allow a week for everything to be graded.
IMPORTANT: Avoid "Assignment Dumping." Do not submit many teacher-scored assignments at the same time. They may take at least TWO WEEKS to be graded. Teachers give a lower priority to these assignments over those turned in on time.
After everything is graded and recorded, you and your parents will receive an email with instructions for getting your transcript sent to your school.
If you are taking a course within Buzz LMS and have a question please email info@marketsquare.education.
